Hi ,

splunk app for web analytics -sourcetype configuration : recently,all webserver IIS logs have been configured with "ms:iis:auto" sourcetype from "iis". After this configuration change this app was not working properly . As per documentation, i have included new sourcetype in the event type "web-traffic" and selected generated user sessions & generate pages then data model acceleration changes but no luck.
even I have added this sourcetype field extraction properties in the props.conf file location of this app but issue not fixed.

Can any one suggest/guide me configuration steps to generate session data with sourcetype "ms:iis:auto"

Regards,
Selva

Hi splunkselva

Edit the default props.conf and copy the stanza [iis] into a new local props.conf [ms:iis:auto]

You also need to edit the eventtype definitions in eventtype.conf.

Let me know how you get along.

Hi jbjerke,

Thanks for reply. I have added ms:iis:auto sourcetype configuration in props.conf file (in local folder) and eventtype definition configuration also updated in eventtype.conf file. But session data is not fetching in any of the dashboards. Also I have noticed this issue for other inbuilt (apache:access) sourcetype as well.

Hi splunkselva,

When you run eventtype=web-traffic, are you getting data with sourcetype=ms:iis:auto?
