Help with setting index and sourcetype via transforms.conf

[a212830]

Hi,

I want to override the "unknown" index that some of my syslog messages are coming in as, using props and transforms. The index part is working, but the sourcetype is not setting. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... if someone can take a look, I'd appreciate it.

props.conf:
[unknown]
KV_MODE=auto
ANNOTATE_PUNCT=false
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 50
TRANSFORMS-set = ciscoIOS_index_parser,ciscoIOS_sourcetype_parser

transforms.conf:

[ciscoIOS_index_parser]
REGEX = %[A-Z_]+-[0-9]-[A-Z_]+:
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = cisco

[ciscoIOS_sourcetype_parser]
REGEX = %[A-Z_]+-[0-9]-[A-Z_]+:
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Sourcetype
FORMAT = sourcetype::cisco:ios

Should be DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype without the _.
