Scripted input rlog.sh is indexing multiple same events

Hi

I've enabled the script input /opt/splunk/etc/apps/unix/bin/rlog.sh to read audit events.

However I noticed there are duplicated events by having the same session id.

I've checked the actual /var/log/audit/audit.log itself there are only 30 events.However when I do a search in splunk there are 90 events,almost triple.

I've noticed that in splunk there are 3 similar events of the each session id,thus causing the events to triple.

Any idea?
