I have a log with events as below

Mar 18 10:48:31 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1,2019/03/18 10:48:31,012501002228,\,url-filtering,0,2019/03/18 10:48:31,,url-cloud-connection-failure,,0,0,general,medium,"Cloud is not ready,

Where XXXXXXXXX is ectract as device hostname i.e., dvc_host

I want to make this field as a index time field extraction

I have field extracted in props and transforms and then defined dvc_host in fields.conf but still could not find the field while using tstats

To be an index-time field, you cannot use EXTRACT- nor REPORT-, you must use TRANSFORMS- in props.conf and then create a transform in transforms.conf that matches and does your field extraction. This must then be pushed to the first full-instance of splunk that handles your events (HF or Indexer tier). Show us what is in your props.conf and transforms.conf.

Transforms.conf ( Where dvc_host is defined as field here )
