Hi @SplunkDash 

can you try this and deploy it to UF not on HF/intermediate forwarder. Restart UF.

 

## props.conf
[your_sourcetype]
HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV
DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT

Since you have structured data with a header you can use the built-in CSV sourcetype. Just set sourcetype = csv inputs.conf on your forwarder.

Or you can create a custom one using INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv
See the documentation below for details and additional settings.

Thank you. But, I used

 

DATETIME_CONFIG=current

SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false

LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)

NO_BINARY_CHECK=true

CHARSET=UTF-8

EVAL-_raw=replace(_raw,"\"","")

INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=csv

KV_MODE=none

category=Structured

but, showing no events.......when I take off "DATETIME_CONFIG=current" and leave this value blank... it's showing events with error messages ("Failed to parse timestamp"). Any help will be highly appreciated.

Where are you putting this? Also, why are you doing replacements on _raw?

_raw  just generated automatically from the system when I pull the source file  through SPLUNK web console to test my PROPS. It doesn't make any differences if I take off take option
