Hello,
I'm having problems with indexing data from a database using DB Connect V3.
I'm able to index the specific database and the results show on my search head, the problem is some values of specific columns which are in Hebrew aren't being shown correctly. They show up as unicode's unknown character symbol -
I've tried adding the following props.conf settings under the search head
[specific_sourcetype]
charset = UTF-8
Still doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.
Got it.
I added the following parameters to the JVM options (In the same line: -param1 -param2 -param3)
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -DdefaultCharset=UTF-8

Tried adding the props.conf above under the Heavy Forwarder itself according to this

Hebrew still doesn't show up correctly.
