Data is not getting parsed on HEC

[rahulg]

I have props.conf

[source::tcp:7660]
TRUNCATE=10000000
LINE_BREAKER = {\"time
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
category = Custom
pulldown_type = true
KV_MODE = json
#TZ = America/Chicago
TZ=UTC
=====================================

I see some of events are not parsed in json format

[PickleRick]

Which endpoint are you send your events to?

[somesoni2]

Is the HEC configured on Heavy forwarder/indexer? Check if events which are not parsed as json is in pure JSON format. Did you setup KV_MODE=JSON on your search head(s)?

[rahulg]

HEC configured on Heavy forwarder and i dont have KV_MODE=JSON on search head(s) will that help?

[PickleRick]

Firstly, I think you don't need line breaking settings since you supply whole single events to the /event endpoint.

Secondly - KV_MODE is a search-time setting so yes, you need it on search-heads, not on indexers/HF's

[rahulg]

Here is sample events which is working fine

if it has file_1 and file_2 works fine and if addition file_3 or similar sha256_3  or any _etc field ect gets added it doesnt  shows ja\son format

Check if the fields are present in raw event. Then you'll know if it's a parsing problem or ingestion one.
