Hi all, I am using LogViewPlus, and it is working very well.

Now I came over a log file, that has Json entries and the date and time is provided like this:

2021-12-02T07:13:24.5072497Z

I tried to use this pattern,

%d{yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz}

but it says "Timestamp not found for log entry".

Does anybody know, how which pattern would work?

Hi Klacol,

'Z' in a timestamp is used to indicate Zero time - or UTC-0. It is not a standard timezone and cannot be understood with the standard timezone patterns. It is actually considered a literal rather than a timezone (similar to 'T').

The correct way to parse this is with a Z:

%d{yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffZ}

%d on it's own will also work, but this is not recommended.  %d tells LogViewPlus to 'just figure it out'.  LogViewPlus is pretty good at figuring dates out, but this approach is a little slower.  Also, it is always better to parse more accurately where possible.

Hope that helps,

Toby

Thanks Toby, thats works; have changed it in the settings.

Glad that helped - thanks for letting me know.
