Bug#SPL-38488.</P> <P>Workaround: manually extract the CSV files from the tar.gz file and put them in the same data input file path. Splunk will recognize all the CSV files with Chinese file names and all events will be read into Splunk correctly. </P> Thu, 05 May 2011 21:32:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-throws-error-message-when-data-input-tar-gz-file-contains/m-p/95882#M97447 zliu 2011-05-05T21:32:53Z
