Aliases not working

Hi All,

I am having an issue creating an alias simply going from DestinationPort to dest_port for SysMon EventID 3

I have tested:

 

index=my_index source=Sysmon

| eval destinationPort=dest_port

 

I have seen in Splunk TA Sysmon that there is FIELDALIAS-dest_port=DestinationPort AS dest_port

but still cannot convert DestinationPort to dest_port at Search time.

Any suggestions, please? There are no other apps contradicting the precedence.

Thank you!

And remember that for search-time operations it's important if you have enough permissions for the app (that should not typically be the issue here but it's worth checking out if all else fails)

Make sure the sourcetype on your data matches that for the FIELDALIAS.
