In props.conf:

[YourSourcetypeHere]
REPORT-filename_from_source = filename_from_source

In transforms.conf:

[filename_from_source]
SOURCE_KEY = source
REGEX = [^\\\/]+$
FORMAT = finename::$1

[somesoni2]

What you want to do with these path in the transforms.conf? Search time or index time?

[cleelakrishna]

there is one entry defined for log inputs. this happens to resolve to (at least) 6 different source files. Each unique file type should have a sourcetype, however these are all assigned to a single sourcetype.

I have to create each source type for that source paths

If you're looking to capture the filenames, try this

 \/src\/tomcat7\/iiq\/logs\/(.*)

Or if you're extracting as a field

 \/src\/tomcat7\/iiq\/logs\/(?<fileName>.*)
