Hi,

Following is my input. It is a set of tab delimited files. Here is a sample. I made updates to props.conf and transforms.conf. I have included the sections for it below.

When I go to the Search app - no data showing up in the data summary. I get a message saying "Waiting for data"

30cb85e3-a3e5-46f9-89e6-3fc0ff9ea70c 3bf80a12-74f8-d104-1d0d-7a05bd517eb4 San Jose \N 4.0 \N \N \N 4.0 \N \N \N 7.999561309814453 1.57784907023112 6.421712239583333 80.2758050207666 7.999561309814453 \N \N \N 2013-10-26 00:00:00 2013-10-26 00:59:59

I did local updates to props.conf and transforms.conf. here are the updates to it.
PROPS.CONF
[ComputeUtilization2]
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIME_FORMAT = %M-%D-%Y %H:%M:%S
TIME_PREFIX = ^([^\t]*\t){20}
pulldown_type = 1
REPORT = getcsvfields

TRANSFORMS.CONF
[getcsvfields]
DELIMS = "\t"
FIELDS = tenant,MGId,HostGroup,TotalVMsPerHG,TotalpCoreForHG,UsedpCoreForHG,FreepCoreForHG,CoreAvailabilityPercentForHG,AvgTotalCoresPerHost,vCoresPerVMForHG,vCoreTopCoreRatio,FreevCoresForHG,TotalpMemInGBForHG,UsedpMemInGBForHG,FreepMemInGBForHG,MemAvailabilityPercentForHG,AvgTotalMemoryPerHost,vMemPerVMForHG,vMemTopMemRatio,FreevMemForHG,BucketStartTime,BucketEndTime

go to the search bar and pipe your main search to | extract getcsvfields

Does that extract the fields correctly?
