fschange and indexing gzip files

joonradley · ‎11-08-2010

I am using fschange to monitor some gziped files.

When the full event is loaded it is index as binary gzip and not ASCII.

Is there a way to indexes the files as ASCII?

Unfortunately the files are only in gzip and we cannot use monitor.

There is not a way to tell fschange to index the files in another method. However, you can call props.conf to tell it to uncompress files. You'd do something like this:

[your sourcetype] CHARSET = SHIFT-JIS NO_BINARY_CHECK = true

[source::D:\samplelogcompressed\test\*(?
