assume timestamp of logentries without correct timestamp
for some logfiles we see an invalid timestamp in the beginning
0000-00-00 00:00:00.249: abc
and only after some time we get a real timestamp
2019-07-12 16:16:51.394: LIFECYCLE
in those cases we will report errors for all lines until we get a valid timestamp. what we could do is to apply the first valid timestamp to all previous lines. that would not give the perfect timestamp but at least recover enough to do somewhat meaningful merging.
