Splunk DB Connect 2: How to configure the output format?

[stscholz]

Hi,

With DBX Connect 1.x is it possible to select the Output format. Example for mkv, the entry in inputs.conf is output.format = mkv.

How do you configure the Output Format to Multiline Key-Value Format with DB Connect 2.x?

There are no Options on the Web Interface Configuration Page.

Thx
Stefan

Hi, the output format capability has been removed from DBX 2 -- http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/2.0.4/DeployDBX/UpgradingfromDBConnect1.1.xtoDBConnect2.0.x for more detail. We would expect it to index in key-value and be easily worked with rex or eval -- if that isn't the case for your data type, please file a ticket so we can address.
