Adding xauthuser to datamodel

I tried to add the xauthuser field to the data model ftnt_fos and after that I get no results any more. Did I break it?

The xauthuser field carries the username that connected to the firewall using an ipsec tunnel, it's a critical field for the vpn dashboard.

In the Splunk web ui I went to Settings/Datamodels, then opened the "Fortinet FOS Log" datamodel:

  • I disabled acceleration otherwise it does not allow me to edit the datamodel
  • In the "Firewall Logs" item I added a new extracted field named xauthuser with type string.
  • Enabled acceleration again.

Now when I go to any Fortigate pre-built dashboard I get "No results".
