  • I have a CSV file placed in a UF and the CSV data is as follows

'"Name" "userid" "use location" "userdesignation"'

Now  I have written props and transforms as below but still the header is being ingested 

 

Props:

[Sourcetype]

Should_linemerge=false 

Line_Breaker=([\r\n]+)

NO_BINARY_CHECK=true 

CHARSET= UTF-8 

INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=CSV 

category=structured 

description=Comma-separated value format. Set header and other settings in "Delimited Settings"

disabled=false

TRUNCATE=99999

DATETIME_CONFIG=CURRENT

KV_MODE=none 

HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER=1 

TRANSFORMS-set=setnull 

 

 

Transforms.conf 

[setnull]

REGEX=(^"NAME".*$) |(^\'\"NAME\".$)

DEST_KEY=queue 

FORMAT=nullQueue 

Please let me know what changes has to be made so that header is not being ingested

Have you try this on UF? In UF you cannot use transforms.con and actually you shouldn’t need it as you told that headers are in first row in file. And remember to restart UF after put props.conf there.
