Hello,

I have a timestamp like this"2017-03-27 17:00:27,352 -0500".

Tried using TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601 but it doesnt pick up timezone part . So I tried using a pattern which looks like "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS zZ" and it still doesnt pick up.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,  
Harsha

Are you talking about a grok pattern or date pattern?

To avoid misunderstandings and wasting everyone's time, please make it a habit to post your configuration instead of trying to describe what you're doing.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Log Line looks like" 2017-03-27 17:00:27,352 -0500|xghf|NOT\_CONNECTED|FORK\_ABORT|Call handled by another call ".  
Below is my filter design and am trying to match log timestamp to @timestamp.  
filter {  
grok {  
match =\> ["message","%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:Timestamp}|%{HOSTNAME:CssVersion}|%{GREEDYDATA:msg}"]  
}  
date {  
match =\> ["timestamp", "ISO8601"]  
locale =\> en  
}  
}

For some reason timezone doesnt get parsed hence log lines fall under current system timestamp bucket.

So I tried using the below filter and i still get the same result.  
filter {  
grok {  
match =\> ["message","%{DATA:Timestamp}|%{HOSTNAME:CssVersion}|%{GREEDYDATA:msg}"]  
}  
date {  
match =\> ["timestamp", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS zZ"]  
locale =\> en  
}

Seems easier to just use a csv filter to parse that log.
