How to make Splunk DB Connect 2 escape quotes

[marcusnilssonmr]

When indexing columns containing quotes ("), Splunk DB Connect 2 does not seem to quote the values:

x=""", x2="1"

The fields are naturally not interpreted correctly..

Is there a way to make Splunk DB Connect 2 escape values?

When using Splunk DB Connect, the format of the line is compatible with KV_MODE auto, key value pairs inside ". Obviously, this format does not work if the values have " in them.

What I want is for Splunk DB Connect to format lines to be compatible with KV_MODE auto_escaped. For this to work, it would need to replace " with \" automatically (and probably linefeeds as well)

have you tried putting a backslash character in front of them?

That is what I want Splunk DB Connect 2 to do, that app is formatting the event.
