Q: Sourcetype renaming

mkelderm

I want to rename an 'old' sourcetype (access:mwp) into a new one (access:web:mwp). Does this work in my props.conf:

["access:mwp"]
rename=access:web:mwp

["access:web:mwp"]
NO_BINARY_CHECK=1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
TIME_PREFIX=^
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=50
TIME_FORMAT=%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %P

No, you should not use quotes in the stanzas. Other than that, your renaming looks OK.
