Whenever I update a field extraction, both from the search head UI field extraction helper, and via props.conf or transforms.conf, it always takes several minutes before the changes take effect.
Some possibly relevant details:
Version 6.5.0
Search head clustering in use
props.conf/transforms.conf changes applied from a search head deployer node, and pushed via splunk apply shcluster-bundle
.
I have this problem too
You can try a bump
or a refresh
but the latter will probably take longer than waiting:

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I've always wondered about this and found it annoying.
Don't know direct answer to your question. I do know that adding | extract reload=true to your searches will force reload at search time which is helpful if the problem statement is troubleshooting field extractions.
I downvoted this post because doesn't work
Has no effect 😞
agree - doesn't seem to work.
Are the extractions it has no effect on working eventually?
Yes.
