Hello there,
I got an issue with Splunk DB Connect app.
After indexing data from my Oracle DB, Splunk doesn't recognize field-value pairs

I got an event like that:

06/02/2018, Name=myname, Date_of_birth=24/10/1987

In the interesting fields I don't find the field name and Date_of_birth but only index, linecount and punct.

How can I solve my problem?

Tnx

As this data is not in CSV format, can you please change sourcetype to some custom sourcetype??

Are you running your search in fastmode ? Try to change it to Smartmode or Verbosemode.

Can you please double check whether are you getting data in double quote or not ? Like this 06/02/2018, Name="myname", Date_of_birth="24/10/1987"

Because when I tried to fetch data from Oracle database all fields with value coming in double quotes as mentioned above.

What sourcetype are you using for this data ? Any props.conf or transforms.conf present for that sourcetype ?
