Issue with some records indexing and not others...

Hey everyone. I am trying to index some sizable CSV files (each line in the file is approximately 200 fields). The thing is, I'm noticing that certain fields aren't being indexed all of the time. For example, 8 fields in there is a field called "Direction." When searching in splunk, filtering for "Direction" yields nothing when limited with other search criteria, even though in the source data I can see the field is populated. Yet for other records it shows up just fine and is definitely indexed (it shows under the "pick fields" list as having some hits).

Anyone have any ideas?

Nm, I was being dumb and hadn't selected the field under "Pick Fields." PEBCAK 🙂
