After creating a new sourcetype, where do I find the props.conf for it?

Hello,

I created a new sourcetype and there is no props.conf in splunk/etc/system/local..

Where is it stored? or is it a different .conf for the "Set sourcetype" function??

Thank you

What app were you in when you created the new sourcetype? It may be in the props.conf file for that app (/opt/splunk/etc/apps/*/local).
