Getting Data In

When I use the inputcsv command with my data, I see an eventcount, but the events are blank. Why is this?

Hi all, when i do an inputcsv command, I see the data in the file I put on the splunk server. Since I want to see them as events I query the following:
| inputcsv filename.csv (I see all the data, 7603 counted)
| inputcsv start=1 events=yes filename.csv (I get the 7602 count, but showing all blank)

Any ideas why its showing blanks?

Events in the event viewer will generally be blank unless they include a _raw field. Your sv file probably does not have a field (or column) called _raw, which is the text of the event.

jrodman, how do you designate the _raw field?
