Use 'CSV'.</P> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 15:39:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-add-data-to-splunk-with-custom-source-and-sourceType/m-p/185811#M37208 richgalloway 2015-07-01T15:39:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-add-data-to-splunk-with-custom-source-and-sourceType/m-p/185812#M37209 <P>That's the default behaviour. I was thinking of if I could change it. Also if I mention "source" and "sourcetype" column in my cvs data then these are renamed as "extracted_source" and "extracted_sourcetype".</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 20:26:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-add-data-to-splunk-with-custom-source-and-sourceType/m-p/185812#M37209 phagunbaya 2020-09-28T20:26:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-add-data-to-splunk-with-custom-source-and-sourceType/m-p/185813#M37210 <P>Issue resolved by using Splunk receiver API<BR /> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.4/RESTREF/RESTinputExamples#receivers.2Fsimple_POST">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.4/RESTREF/RESTinputExamples#receivers.2Fsimple_POST</A></P> Wed, 12 Aug 2015 12:37:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-add-data-to-splunk-with-custom-source-and-sourceType/m-p/185813#M37210 phagunbaya 2015-08-12T12:37:04Z
