Props config is not taking effect, trying to rename fields

Hello,

I am trying to rename some fields pre-index using props.conf and it's not working.  Props below.

[onelogin:event]
EVAL-app_name = app
EVAL-src_ip = ipaddr


Also tried using FIELDALIAS to no avail.  The props file is  local  dir on the HF (/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_ta_onelogin/local).  

bt debug shows the intended config ..

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_ta_onelogin/local/props.conf [onelogin:event]
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_ta_onelogin/local/props.conf EVAL-app_name = app
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_ta_onelogin/local/props.conf EVAL-src_ip = ipaddr

Also tried putting the props file in system local, no effect.  How do I troubleshoot this?  Thanks!

Did you cycle Splunk after making changes?

Hi @oleg106 

EVAL, FIELDALIAS are works during search-time hence they shall be deployed to SearchHead not HF.
