I am using Splunk Free to develop some dashboards and processes, so everything is local. I have tried simply loading it interactively or via directory scan. The end result is the same.

When I load it interactively, the process in Splunk Web displays the heading, which is in the first line. Everything looks right at this stage. However, when the loading process is complete, there seems to be no knowledge of the headings in the search tool. The timestamp is picked up correctly, but the meaning of each column seems to be lost. I am using the default csv source type. I have tried variations of this sourfce type with no success (specifying the heading line etc).

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
