I have a date as below:

2018-06-21 13:25:09-04:00

my logstash filter for date is as below:  
date {  
match =\> ["DeviceDate", "TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}

however i get below error on :

Cannot create pipeline { :reason=\>"Illegal pattern component: T"}

Any clue how to fix this?

It's falling over at the first T in TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601. You could change that to

```
match => ["DeviceDate", "ISO8601"]

```

Which would run, but return a date parse failure. Try

```
match => ["DeviceDate", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ"]

```
