All,

Having some trouble with a JSON file field extractions. It’s funny the only extraction I am getting is “PATH” and “HOME”, but nothing else.

here is my props.conf

KV_MODE = json
LINE_BREAKER = ([\n\r]+){
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TRUNCATE = 0
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

here is the source.

I don't notice anything wrong when using the standard json sourcetype settings. Why did you specify explicit line breaking options? If you have to, use this one:

\]([\s]+)\[

Yours doesn't match the data.
Have you confirmed standard timestamp extraction works with your props.conf?
