I have a customer who's logs are coming out binary I need to change that to text.

[nls7010]

I have tried putting the following in the props.conf file:

NO_BINARY_CHECK = true

and

NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1

and

CHARSET=AUTO

But none of these worked.  I did them in the props.conf file.  But when I look at the splunkd.log file, the Splunk still thinks of the file as binary.  How can I fix this?

I think that your understanding of NO_BINARY_CHECK is incorrect. If you set that to true, then Splunk will process a file with binary data. It doesn't change the data to readable text. From the docs:

NO_BINARY_CHECK = <boolean>
* When set to true, Splunk software processes binary files.
* Can only be used on the basis of [<sourcetype>], or [source::<source>],
  not [host::<host>].
* Default: false (binary files are ignored).
* This setting applies at input time, when data is first read by Splunk
  software, such as on a forwarder that has configured inputs acquiring the
  data.
