Hello,

I know ....SPLUNK needs to have UTF-8 data format to ingest data into SPLUNK. But I have some XML files with UTF-16 format. Are there any ways we can ingest UTF-16 formatted files? Any help will be appreciated ...thank you so much.

CHARSET option must be on source system (UF) and that must restated after props.conf change.
