[raynor]

I'm trying to spit event into multiple events，my raw event like below

<14>1 2022-09-14T12:49:12.620+08:00 TestServer mft 3491 SFTP Audit Log [gamft-sftp@46583 mftcommand="Connect" mftend_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM" mftevent_type="Connection Successful" mftremote_ip="192.168.168.168" mftstart_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM"]<14>1 2022-09-14T12:49:12.620+08:00 TestServer mft 3491 SFTP Audit Log [gamft-sftp@46583 mftcommand="Connect" mftend_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM" mftevent_type="Connection Successful" mftremote_ip="192.168.168.168" mftstart_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM"]<14>1 2022-09-14T12:49:12.727+08:00 TestServer mft 3491 SFTP Audit Log [gamft-sftp@46583 mftcommand="Login" mftend_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM" mftevent_type="Login Successful" mftremote_ip="192.168.168.168" mftstart_time="2022-09-14 12:49:12 PM" mftuser_name="testuser"]

Hi @raynor,

I tested it on my local instance and it works. Did you put this props.conf on your Indexers and are you checking for the new events right? 

[scelikok]

Hi @chaker,

You can use below setting. I used syslog tag at the beginning (<14>)

[mft]
LINE_BREAKER = ()<\d+>\d+
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
category = Structured
pulldown_type = 1
disabled = false

[raynor]

Dear @scelikok

Thanks for your reply. The content of the event is still not split

My props.conf

[mft]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = 
DATETIME_CONFIG = 
LINE_BREAKER = ()<\d+>\d+
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
category = Structured
pulldown_type = 1
disabled = false
description = mft Syslog
TIME_PREFIX = 
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = 

[chaker]

Do you mean, how do I make this event multiple events at search time, OR do you mean how do I onboard this data correctly into Splunk?

I can't see any reason for the raw event to be stored this way in Splunk. You could stich the events back together like this at search time using transaciton command or similar method.

Let us know which outcome you are looking for.

Dear chaker:

Yes, I need onboard this data correctly into Splunk.

The raw event input from udp syslog，I try edit Source Type "Event Breaks" but not work

A single event ending with "]" ，how can I split it.

the props.conf
[mft]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE =
DATETIME_CONFIG =
LINE_BREAKER = ([]]+)
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
category = Structured
pulldown_type = 1
disabled = false
