Hello,
I have a stream of call data records in xml form coming into splunk and i would like to add some ingestion-time transformations to it. However I have broken the input at least twice, so I need a debugging setup.
I ran a packet capture to get about three minutes worth of the stream (500 or so megabytes) and stripped out the xml data into a raw text file. I am going to "ingest" this file into a test server.
How do I dump the contents of an index so i can re-import the same data over and over again to test my transforms?

Hi @jason0
Take a look at this existing community answers. In summary, you need to clean the index, and reset the fishbucket pointer for the input you are testing.
Do this in a test environment. There is no undo for these steps.
