Blank Values being filled with data

vishalduttauk — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:35:09 GMT

Hi all,

I am uploading a csv which has two columns, Status and Flag. I am having issues where the Flag field is being populated with the value which is set in the status field even when flag is blank.

i.e. If status is O and Flag is blank then Flag is being populated with O as well.

Can you help?

Can you share your current configuration which is not working as you expect?

Sorry I am fairly new to Splunk. What configuration information do you need?

I found out the issue. The sourcetype was associated with a field which had been created previously. I removed the sourcetype which was a test and created a new one which resolved the issue.
