I suspect that you have an invalid attribute specified in one of your transforms.conf files. See if this will find it for you:

Go to the Splunk bin directory ($SPLUNK_HOME/bin)

./splunk btool check

OR, for Windows

splunk btool check

btool checks the configuration files and notifies you of any suspicious or invalid settings. You can also use the Splunk-on-Splunk app (SOS) to perform this and many other diagnostic checks.
