Error: value=\>"Tue Mar 08 10:51:38.971058 2016" is malformed at ".971058 2016"", :config\_parsers=\>"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy" I am trying to pass Aapache error log into logstash with timestamp being log time rather than parsing time. something like: date { match =\> ["timestamp", "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy", "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss.SSS yyyy", "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss.SS yyyy"] target =\> "@timestamp" } Can anyone guide me what is the value that can be used for those fractions after second in example above "38.971058"? ---

Since you have microseconds use SSSSSS instead of SSS. Note that ES won't store microsecond resolution. ---
