Template for Citrix XenApp - Why is applications dashboard only showing one application?

I recently installed Template for Citrix XenApp at a customer site. We were puzzled as the applications dashboard only showed one application.

The solution can be found below. I am documenting this in case anyone else is seeing the same issue.

It appears that the reason for this is that the sourcetype=xenapp:65:application had all events merged into one event and we were only seeing the first entry in that event.

The solution was to deploy the following to a props.conf on the indexers


[xenapp:65:application]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

This is Splunk 6.1.3. Citrix servers run Splunk Universal Forwarders. The documentation did not state that this step was necessary and there is no such stanza in the Template for Citrix XenApp App either, so I suspect that this might have worked out of the box on Splunk 6.0 but not on 6.1.3.
