hello there,

seems like a nice JSON format event you got there.
why not use the oootb configurations for it from splunk?
try this in props.conf (on your first full splunk instance, HF or Indexer) rename the stanza as you wish

[ CHANGE_ME_json ]
CHARSET=AUTO
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=json
KV_MODE=none
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
category=Structured
description=JavaScript Object Notation format. For more information, visit http://json.org/
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS=service.eventLastSeen

hope it helps

Thanks adonio for your input, i have tried above method it is not working and still it is not extract the value from eventlastseen field.

[ aws:kiness ]
CHARSET=AUTO
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=json
KV_MODE=none
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
category=Structured
description=JavaScript Object Notation format. For more information, visit http://json.org/
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS=service.eventLastSeen

Folks,

Could you please check above post and let me know your thought as still it is not resolved.

[adonio]

where did you place the props.conf
it works nice on my single instance lab
are you using the app for AWS?

[lksridhar]

i have configured the props.conf in HF, also we are using the AWS app.

[adonio]

not sure, this props.conf works well for me.
try to remove the spaces in your [ aws:kiness ]
so it will look like that: [aws:kiness]
also, double check there is no conflict props in your aws app / ta

[lksridhar]

i have checked and found that the aws kiness input configuration is created in aws_kinesis_task.conf in TA.

look like it is not communicating with props.conf to extract the time_prefix and other index time opertation

is there any separate file do we need to use to do index operation for aws:kinesis sourcetype.
