linebreaking question - props.conf change at searchhead, forwarder or indexer?
I want to correct the linebreaking for my secure.txt file.
Do I need to configure props.conf at the searchhead, indexer or universal forwarder?
I have a universal forwarder which is reporting timestamp parsing issues:

Hi edchow,
When using a universal forwarder, parsing is done at the indexer, so that's where you need to configure it. Alternatively, you might use a heavy forwarder.
