HEC _raw sourcetype

apider
Explorer

Hi,

I have a raw HEC set up as follows (no sourcetype set):

[http://aiwa_request_input]
disabled = 0
index = test
indexes = test
sourcetype =
token = xxxxxxx-xxx-x-x-xx

When I put an event into it and specify the sourcetype in the event it gets indexed as two sourcetypes; httpevent and "my" sourcetype "aiwa:request".

host = aiwa3dev-aiwa3-dev.cumulus.sebank.seindex = testlinecount = 1punct = {"":"--::.","":"","":":","":{"":"","":"","":{"":""source = http:aiwa_request_inputsourcetype = httpevent sourcetype = aiwa:requestsplunk_server = lsp7150c.sebank.se

From above: sourcetype = httpevent sourcetype = aiwa:request

How can I change this to only be the ST in the event itself.
My props & transforms are blank.

Cheers

Did you manage to fix this. I also get two sourceTypes: httpEvent and aws:cloudTrail

The problem this is causing me is that I somehow end up with events with TWO sourcetypes, as it seems.

When i search: index=test sourcetype="aiwa:request"
I don't get a match.

But when i do: index=test sourcetype="httpevent"
I DO get a match.

Really confusing, as it looks like the event has BOTH souretypes.
I am posting the event to HEC raw endpoint with sourcetype set to "aiwa:request".

Is this expected behavior?
