Is this data already in your Splunk instance? if yes, please post a sample of your data

OR

Are you yet to onboard this data to your Splunk instance? If yes, you need to first ingest these logs. For help on this, we need more clarity on what format these logs are in

Hi @ikaneng

Here's how
1. Click on edit your question
2. Post sample evens from your index which resemble your original data, mask any proprietary/organizational information
3. Highlight your sample data and press the Code Sample button (The button with 1s and 0s)
4. Save your question
