Why is the field extraction only extracting one value?

[dannili]

Hi all, this is one sample I'm trying to extract in order to visualize them in table. But when I select a sample field 8/2/2018 and name it as date, the extracted fields only has one single value instead of 6 dates as I expected.

This is my props.config:

[****_security]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv
FIELD_DELIMITER=,
 
[source::/log/***/****/****_security_stat.csv/*/*/*]
sourcetype = ****_security

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

try this in props.conf-

[****_security]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = False
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv
KV_MODE = none

Hi Thanks for your response. But I just tried, it's still not working.

have you restarted splunk to take these effect...also after restarting next time when you ingest new file it will get applied these changes to new file and it will not affect already indexed files

[dannili]

yes I restarted. So you mean these changes will not affect already ingested data? Then guess this could be the reason

[493669]

yes it won't affect already ingested data

[dannili]

I think I know why it did not work before, the SHOULD_LINEMERGE needs to be all lowercase? anyway thanks

@dannili not required to be in lowercase ...reference https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.2/Data/Configureeventlinebreaking
