Hi,

I'm getting the same issue as well where before I was able to use IFX to extract fields. I'm running 4.1.1, build 78281

This is a demo version of splunk that I downloaded 2 weeks ago(yes, I'm a newbie).

I did a bit of googling and found what seems to be a similar issue with a fix. I'm not certain that this particular fix is relevant to this situation or not. It had to do with requesting a list versus a string.

The problem, and answer, could be found here: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread185328.html

Can you post that into your question. It' will be much easier to read. (Click the "edit" link under your post.)

OK I am getting these error messages

Sorry. I told you the wrong logfile. Try this search instead: index=_internal source=*web_service.log toPrimitive OR Traceback

[snortymcsnort]

I am getting nothing in that search. I also could not find toPrimitive using grep on the python.log

[Lowell]

Can you get more info about this and add it to your post? Do a search like this and report back the full traceback message: index=_internal source=*python.log toPrimitive
