Getting Data In

Values repeated in each field

I am getting repeated values in Splunk fields. This can be seen only in Table view. For list view/raw there is no repetition seen. However, my search queries treat all these fields as multi-valued fields. I do not want the repeated values in the single valued field.

Try these settings in props.conf on your Search Heads:

[YourSourcetypeHere]
KV_MODE = none
AUTO_KV_JSON = false

I removed Indexed extractions from the prop.conf on UF. And that resolved my issue.

I have these settings on props.conf on UF. Is that the problem that I need to put these settings on SH?

Yes, that is most definitely the problem.

It sounds like you want to dedup a multi-value field:

| eval a=dedup(a), b=dedup(b)

This is not a multivalued field. This is a single valued field. All fields except the date field are affected. I want all the fields to appear as single valued field. The json data has getting wrongly doubled values.
