How to configure Splunk to index PSV files and extract field names from the header/first row?

[dhavamanis]

We are trying to index a psv file into Splunk with sourcetype as "psv", but its not extracting fields from the PSV's first row. Can you please provide the config to add fields as psv header/first row values.
