i have a csv file with header column"Name","CapacityGB","FreeSpaceGB" with the line number 1.

This header is also coming along with the next line as one single event:

I have used the below props.conf:

[xxxxx]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV
DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
MUST_BREAK_AFTER = (\,\"\d+.\d+\"$)
FIELD_DELIMITER=,
FIELD_QUOTE="

ISSUE:

1/27/19
4:31:01.000 AM

"Name","CapacityGB","FreeSpaceGB"
"xxxxxx","1008.374375","486.1959375"

Please let me know how to exclude the header file.

Do i have to update anything on props.conf?

you may want to add the following in your props.conf your sourcetype to try and exclude the header being added to events.

HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER=1
PREAMBLE_REGEX=^\"[a-zA-Z\,\"]+

Hi,

have a look at this, and make sure you set this on your forwarder.
