CSV Field indexing

Hello,

I have a CSV file that I monitor via the Universal Forwarder (UF). I’m encountering an issue where sometimes I cannot find the fields in Splunk when i run index=myindex, even though they appear on other days.

The CSV file does not contain a header, and the format of the file is the same every day (each day starts with an empty file that is populated later). Here is the props.conf configuration that I’m using:

 

 

[csv_hff]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = 
DATETIME_CONFIG = 
FIELD_NAMES = heure,id,num,id2,id3
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv
KV_MODE = none
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = heure
TIME_FORMAT = %d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S
category = Structured
description = Comma-separated value format. Set header and other settings in "Delimited Settings"
disabled = false
pulldown_type = true

 

 

Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

Splunk version 9

Thank you

@PickleRick @ Events are indexed, but fields are not extracted for the same day. For other days, there is no problem

Check those events - my hunch is there is something wrong with formatting in those rows - some inconsistent quoting or something like that.

But are the events indexed but the fields are not extracted or are the events not ingested at all?
