Looking at web_service.log, an error in the format is seen

FieldPicker:60 - Could not load summary PCDATA invalid Char value , line , column .

Splunk are investigating a possible issue in Splunk 5.0 with parsing some unicode characters (or corrupt binary characters which may need escaping) (SPL-58178)

[version 5.0.1]

For us the issue was with embedded commas in a CSV LOOKUP Table

e.g.

--

Lookup,ReturnedValue

123,Hello World

456,"Hello Boston, London, and Toronto"

--

Remove the embedded commas and your good

e.g.

--

Lookup,ReturnedValue

123,Hello World

456,Hello Boston and London and Toronto

--

.. issue is resolved

Looks there is an issue with embedded commas (or the method for having them in lookup tables in Splunk is not the same as the CSV standard?)
