Help us to help you.  How did you create the alias?  On which instance type(s)?  If you edited a .conf file did you restart the instance?  What exactly do you mean by "I am not able to see it"?  How and where are you looking for it?

These message boards are not real-time help.  Expecting a response in a hour is not reasonable given the rest of us have jobs, too.  For something closer to real-time assistance, use Slack.

So I have an application that runs as a docker container in AWS ECS Fargate, and in log configurations for the container , I have used splunk log driver , here I have used --log-opt env to let say set a variable xyz, this variable appears now in the logs under attrs.xyz but I don't want to search everytime using this , so I used field alias in the settings -> fields -> new filed aliases  and created xyz = attrs.xyz, but now I have created this field alias and I can't see it (use it to filter the search) but admin user can see this field although correct app - search was selected , and read permission to everyone was given.
