In this source definition the MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKHEAD is missing. Which value would fit best?

DMAX TIMESTAMP LOOKAHEAD - 30

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Data/Configuretimestamprecognition

'Specify how far (how many characters) into an event Splunk software should look for a timestamp.' since TIME_PREFIX = ^ and timestamp is from 0-29 position, so D=30 will pick up the WHOLE timestamp correctly.

I think the best value would be C) MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 20.
