Getting Data In

Unable to view value from events

Hi,

Unsure what is the root cause as i was trying to do some minor adjustment to ignore the [ ] at the transforms.conf.

Previously I'm able to view the fields like Id Name and their value but currently nothing shows.

I tried to re-do the props.conf, transforms.conf and inputs.conf by adding parameter by parameter and it still didn't work.

Hi @ws 

The reason you arent getting the fields listed is because it isnt being parsed as valid JSON.

To remove the trailing "]" try the following LINE_BREAKER

LINE_BREAKER=(\[)|(([\r\n]+)\s*{(?=\s*"attribute":\s*{))|(\])

Update

I suspect this might be a Splunk-related issue, possibly due to the version I'm currently using (9.3.1).

I spun up a new server for quick testing and reused the same configuration parameters from my previous setup. Mainly, the props.conf, transforms.conf, and inputs.conf.

Interestingly, everything seems to be working fine on the new server, even though the configuration is identical to the old one.

The only difference I can observe is in the data ingestion flow. initially, I ingested a set of JSON array entries in one format, and later ingested another set with a different structure containing more fields.

So far, it all appears to be working as expected.

However, when I tried the same method on my previous server, it didn’t work as expected.

This is puzzling since both servers are using the same configuration files and setup. The only noticeable difference was the data ingestion flow on the new server, I ingested one format of JSON array first, followed by another with more fields, and it worked fine. But replicating this exact process on the older server doesn’t yield the same results.

Hi @livehybrid, I'm still under to get the fields listed even updating the props.conf.
