I have a CSV file with region , status , hostname as Columns - field extraction works and gives them as region , status and hostname. Instead I want extraction to work like "Region " "Hostname " Status".
Is there any setting in source type advance to achieve this?

Hi Rashi83,
I think it would help if you told us why you want to have the field names from the CSV in proper case. In the end, it's not really going to matter, because you can always rename the fields at search time: | rename region as Region, status as Status, hostname as Hostname
If you're only concerned about how it will appear in search results or a report, then use rename at search time.

How have you extracted fields? Do you have control on changing the CSV headers?

Field extraction was done automatically when I choose sourcetype = CSV
