How to import more than 50 fields with CSV in Splunk 6?

[swilhoi2]

We are having a problem with importing all of our data fields because we are only getting the first 50 fields using version 6.

If someone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Hi,

This is a kv limit in default Splunk configuration.

Edit your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/limits.conf and set: (see your default/limits.conf for the full section)

[kv]
# maximum number of keys auto kv can generate
limit    = 50

To a value that would feet your need.

Restart Splunk and re-index your data.

I had the same issue, took me some time to understand and find that 🙂
