Getting Data In

HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1 not working

While trying to get the data from UF to indexer, the header is getting indexed as well. Attached the log file and the input.conf and props.conf configured currently

 

props.conf:

[linux_secure]
HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1
FIELD_DELIMITER = ~^~
EVENT_BREAKER = "([\r\n]+)"

 

inputs.conf
[monitor:///tmp/Patch/*.log]
disabled = 0
index = main
sourcetype = linux_secure
crcSalt = <SOURCE>

 

log below:

Application~^~Server~^~Pre_Patching_Status~^~Patching_Status~^~Post_Patching_Status~^~Overall_Status
SAP GTS~^~sppgtslapew01~^~Success~^~Success~^~Success~^~Success
SAP GTS~^~sppgtslapew02~^~Success~^~Success~^~Success~^~Success
SAP GTS~^~sppgtsldbew01~^~Success~^~Failed~^~Skipped~^~Failed

 

 

Thank you.

Hi @srinivasgowda,

Can you please try with INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=csv in props.conf?
