How to rename a field when an event indexed?

Hello,

I have data with fields kind of "Field Id", "Second Id". And I wanna merge these two fields into one, but when I make EVAL-sourcetype = "Field Id"+"Second Id" as a result I get merge fields name but not value.

Also, I used this configuration in props.conf, but without success

[.stanza.]
FIELDALIAS-extract_fieldId
 = "Field Id" as FieldID
FIELDALIAS-extract_secondId = "Second Id" as SecondID
EVAL-sourcetype =FieldID+SecondID

Hi @rendie,

Can you please provide more information about your need? Do you want to set sourcetype at index time?
