Hi this is the log

Hi,

This seems to be a valid json event. Did you already send this log record to Splunk? Which sourcetype settings are you using?

I guess that the default "_json" sourcetype should parse this log and extract fields correctly.

Hi @caiosalonso,

as @abhisplunk1 said, this seems to be a json file, so you could use the _json sourcetype.

otherwise, you could add the option:

INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json

to your sourcetype in props.conf.

You can find more information at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Data/Aboutindexedfieldextraction or https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Propsconf 

At least, you could try to use the spath command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Spath) in search.

Ciao.
