I have a oneshot command thats returning strange error message. I have everything in [-paramteter value] format. Heres the command:

 

 

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk add oneshot host12345.messages -hostname host12345 –index nix_os –sourcetype syslog

 

 

 

and the response:

 

 

Parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'

Figured it out. this was the result of a bad copy/paste issue.

I re-wrote the command, no copying and it worked as expected.

Thanks!
