I'm getting this error in Splunk:
04-13-2016 11:13:58.607 -0500 WARN FileClassifierManager - The file '/opt/wasserver/server/server01/log/server.log' is invalid. Reason: binary
04-13-2016 11:13:58.607 -0500 INFO TailReader - Ignoring file '/opt/wasserver/server/server01/log/server.log' due to: binary
I tried this setting NO_BINARY_CHECK = true, where I can avoid the error above, but I'm looking to convert the binary data to human readable format.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..!!

The only way to convert a binary file to human-readable format is to understand exactly how the binary file was written. So the easiest way to do this is to figure out which software wrote the file - and then see if there is a similar program that can read the file. Translate the binary file to a new text file, and then use Splunk to monitor the text file.
There is nothing you can do in Splunk to convert the file from binary.
