Am having trouble getting a .json file into splunk through the backend to help support a customized dashboard. Is there a particular step i need to follow to get it in through the deployer?

Hi @whitecat001 ,

sorry but there's something strange in your request:

are you speaking about how to ingest json files in a forwarder or how to parse json files in Search Heads Cluster?

you spoke of Deployer that's used in Search Head Cluster, if your requirement is to parse a json file, you have to add INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=JSON to the sourcetype using the web gui and this configuration is replicated to the hother Search Heads.

If instead you are speaking about how to ingest and parse a json file, you have to add INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = JSON to the sourcetype in props.conf, in the forwarders using the Deployment Server or manually.

What's your requirement?

Ciao.

Giuseppe
