         arr[$i]="$line"                                                                                                                                                                                           
          i=$((i+1))                                                                                                                                                                                               
     #   $line | sed s/"-"//g | sed s/"STATUS"//g | sed s/'TO_CHAR(TO_TIMESTAM'//g | sed s/"AVAILABLE"//g | sed '/^ *$/d'                                                                                         
       done< $LOGFILE                                                                                                                                                                                              

       printf '%s\n' "${arr[@]}"

Would grep be acceptable?

grep -o '[0-9].*' $LOGFILE

Output:

2017.10.18 18:00:30
2017.10.24 18:00:26

Use mapfile to capture the output in an array.

$ mapfile -t arr < <(grep -o '[0-9].*' $LOGFILE)

$ echo ${arr[0]}
2017.10.18 18:00:30

$ echo ${arr[1]}
2017.10.24 18:00:26

Many thanks to this post.
