Splunk Addon for nix Not showing the entire COMMAND name

Hi all, 

 

I have deployed the splunk Addon for Nix on my Linux Server and enabled the top.sh script.

The script does not return my full command names, it does add a '+' plus sign at the end of command which are longer. The log looks like this 

 

 826  root              20     0  474240    8664    6640   S     0.0     0.1      18:36.67  NetworkMan+

 

 

When I run the script locally it does show the entire COMMAND Name 

 

  826  root              20     0  474240    8664    6640   S     0.0     0.1      18:36.72  NetworkManager

 

Here is my props.conf  section for it 

 

# The "app" field is the conjunction of COMMAND plus ARGS
# Note that the UNIX app joins arguments with an underscore.
EVAL-app = if(ARGS!="<noArgs>", COMMAND." ".ARGS,COMMAND)
EVAL-process = if(ARGS!="<noArgs>", COMMAND." ".ARGS,COMMAND)
EVAL-process_name = replace(COMMAND, "[\[\]()]", "")

# Truncate needless leading zeroes from the cumulative CPU time field.
EVAL-cpu_time = replace(CPUTIME, "^00:[0]{0,1}", "")
EVAL-time = replace(CPUTIME, "^00:[0]{0,1}", "")

# UsedBytes is calculated as RSZ_KB*1024. Previously it was calculated using
# %MEM and the "Mem:" header from "top -bn 1", which tended to underestimate
# compared to this value. This is a rough measure of resident set size (i.e.,
# physical memory in use).
EVAL-mem_used=RSZ_KB*1024
EVAL-UsedBytes=RSZ_KB*1024

[time]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
LINE_BREAKER=^((?!))$
TRUNCATE=1000000

FIELDALIAS-user = USER as user
FIELDALIAS-process = COMMAND as process
FIELDALIAS-cpu_load_percent = pctCPU as cpu_load_percent
EVAL-vendor_product = if(isnull(vendor_product), "NIX", vendor_product)

 

top.sh script 

 

. `dirname $0`/common.sh

HEADER='   PID  USER              PR    NI    VIRT     RES     SHR   S  pctCPU  pctMEM       cpuTIME  COMMAND'

CMD='top'

if [ "x$KERNEL" = "xLinux" ] ; then
        CMD='top -bn 1'
        FILTER='{if (NR < 7) next}'
        HEADERIZE='{NR == 7 && $0 = header}'

assertHaveCommand $CMD
$CMD | tee $TEE_DEST | $AWK "$HEADERIZE $FILTER $FORMAT $PRINTF"  header="$HEADER"
echo "Cmd = [$CMD];  | $AWK '$HEADERIZE $FILTER $FORMAT $PRINTF' header=\"$HEADER\"" >> $TEE_DEST
