Hello,  
I have basicly the same problem mentionned in this topic :  
[https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-the-date-and-sending-to-elasticsearch/83883](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-the-date-and-sending-to-elasticsearch/83883)  
I have this log format :

> 2019-04-19 12:00:05.225 FCC7-VCS01-B VCS: [0x00000e9c] Internal H.323 Stack is alive.

i need to parse that date format, according to the topic below, @magnusbaeck suggested that

> why the date filter fails. It could be that the ISO8601 pattern doesn't match "2017-04-26 09:40:33" ( **because you have no "T" between the date and the time** ). A **more exact pattern** (similar to the second pattern you've listed) will definitely work

I would like to know how exactly could i get that **more exact pattern**  
Any suggestions will be apperciated .
