Hello,

I need help. How do I find sourcetypes that I made? I want to use them in my app. I made some custom sourcetypes and I tried to find them in props.conf and inputs.conf, but I found only basic sourcetypes. So I need your help.

use btool

./splunk cmd btool props list "mysourcetype" 

add "--debug" is you want to see where every settings are, you will see many defaults ones.
