Splunk Search

Problem about auto extract fields

Hi Community,

I dealt with csv files before, splunk would auto extracted so many fields, shown as figure 1.

But today, when I try to search these files again, only fewer fields are displayed... shown as figure 2.

And the fields I exacted manually also didn't shown... I don't know why... Really need help~~

Thanks in advance~

Hi @cecilia_cheng1,

probably the second search was runned in Smart or Fast Mode, try in Verbose Mode and you'll have all the fields.

Ciao.

Remember though that running searches in verbose mode is more resource-intensive because Splunk extracts all fields regardless of whether you need them or not.

It's often enough to run your search in fast mode but use "| fields + field1 field2 ..." to include the fields in the results. (the fields used in calculations within the processing pipeline are included automaticaly if I remember correctly).
