How to index data from zigbee2mqtt?

can't figure out how to indexing my data from zigbee2mgtt.  The logs are exported from Home assistance via syslog, as Json. 

I have tried various settings in props on the forwarder.

Current setting:

[zigbee2mqtt]
DATETIME_CONFIG =
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = JSON
category = structured
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = timestamp
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)
disabled = false
pulldown_type = true

And on the search:

Current:
[zigbee2mqtt]
KV_MODE = JSON

And this is how the data appears in the log.  for me it looks like some kind mix, not just JSON data.

Those props.conf settings should be on a heavy forwarder and/or an indexer.  They do no good on a universal forwarder.

If the event is not pure and correct JSON then the INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=JSON and KV_MODE=_json settings won't work.

Ok, Thanks.

So I should move all config to the search instead.

I have now tried that and the result seems to be the same, still index.

As stated in my original reply, the settings go on indexers and/or heavy forwarders.  You can put them on search heads, but they won't do any good.  Unless, that is, you have a standalone system (combined indexer and search head).

ok. sorry,

But yes I have a combined index/search head, and a separate universal forwarder.
