How are you onboarding this data?

If you are onboarding this data from a remote server using UF, you should place the props.conf on the remote server to extract the fields.

Its always better to test the extraction using UI i.e. settings -> Add Data -> upload -> choose psv as sourcetype. Once you are ok with extraction, copy the parameters deploy it over to the UF.

If this psv file does not has a header file, you need to mention the fields as well in the props.conf.

 

-- Hope this helps.
