How to check if f5 logs are getting into Splunk properly?

I am not sure if you are referring to a Splunk for F5 Security, but, I am having some problems related to the extractions done by this app. I followed all the steps available on pdf which came with the app (that once named Creating-a-logging-profile-for-Splunk) and I noticed that when a fields is extracted, it is being extracted field_name=value, not just the field's value. It is being a problem to filter data because the website names into the combo boxes are being extracted the same way either. I wonder if there are additional configs to generate event logs which are not part of that available doc.

Someone having similar problems, I say, related with extractions done by this app?

Thanks for any help.

what does 'properly' mean? are you seeing the events in the index? have you tried searching for something you know should be in the events, over all time?
