If it is, then you shouldn't send Splunk it directly; you need to convert it to plain text first. If the problem is that it is <EM>not</EM> binary, then just add <CODE>NO_BINARY_CHECK = true</CODE> to your <CODE>props.conf</CODE> file.</P> Tue, 19 May 2015 20:31:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-convert-binary-AIX-audit-logs-and-send-it-to/m-p/139181#M28639 woodcock 2015-05-19T20:31:50Z
