Read JSON

[bardill]

Hi, I'm new to Splunk.
How do I have to set the props.conf in the indexer so that my JSON reads correctly?
I would like to have the fields: LOGTIME, CMDBID, RunID and Msg per event.

Please share your current props.conf settings and the results you get using them.

hi

he break all lines?

this is the props.conf on the indexer

[automic_itil]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
KV_MODE = NONE
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = JSON
LINE_BREAKER = \{\"LOGTIME
TIME_PREFIX = LOGTIME\"\s\:\s\"
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

[richgalloway · Accepted solution]

Verify the data is valid JSON.  Splunk won't extract events from imperfect JSON events.
