Hi @hemanthhebburshekar,

Please try to configure props.conf on Universal Forwarder only with below config and remove other configuration files.

props.conf

[SplunkJobLog_csv]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = TSV
FIELD_NAMES = "ORDERID","JOBNAME","TYPE","ODATE","STATE","STATUS","FILENAME","APPLICATION","SUBAPPLICATION","STARTED","ENDED","TIME_OF_LOG_GEN"

[SplunkDbLog_csv]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = TSV
FIELD_NAMES = "coord_member","application_handle","application_name","session_auth_id","client_applname","elapsed_time_sec","activity_state","activity_type","total_cpu_time","total_cpu_time_ml","rows_read","rows_returned","query_cost_estimate","direct_reads","direct_writes","stmt_text","ts"

and then restart splunkforwarder.

EDIT: Updated props.conf configuration.
