Hi all, so I've been trying to ingest cisco netflow logs into my splunk environment, and finally got the logs in with Splunk Stream.

However, there's a field "src_content" which seems to be unable to parse or read by splunk, and its appearing as symbols. I'm suspecting itt is due to cisco netflow sending them via High-Speed Logging. Is there a template for splunk to decode these?

It looks like this for eg.

src_content:
