Hi,
I had the following sentence and wish to extract fields as follows:

event Row: 1234, tp1, 314242, 1, 2014-09-27 12:00:19.0, track, 55444, test

Below is the fields to extract from the above event.

Key      Value
S_ID     1234
type     tp1
B_ID     314242
mode   1
B_date  2014-09-27 12:00:19.0
name    track
c_ID      55444
c_name test

How to go abt extracting the fields in the most simplest way? thks

Do it in the form of a REPORT in props/transforms.

props.conf

[your_sourcetype]
REPORT-blah = get_my_fields

transforms.conf

[get_my_fields]
DELIMS = ","
FIELDS = S_ID, type, B_ID, mode, B_date, name, c_ID, c_name

/K
