I am getting getting extracted_host, extracted_source, extracted_sourcetype fields in interesting fields along with host, source, sourcetype in selected fields while ingesting logs using HEC input in Splunk Cloud.


Can someone help why I am gettin extracted_host, extracted_source, extracted_sourcetype fields in the logs even if they are not define in the source end.
