Without any additional info I'm going to guess that your user lacks permissions to edit the .conf file.

hi martin_mueller thanks for reading my question..

im having trouble with auto header extraction using configurations
here is the sample code

props.CONF

[details]
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
pulldown_type = 1
REPORT-AutoHeader=extract_details

transforms.CONF

[extract_details]
DELIMS=","
FIELDS="UserName","CaseID","Subject","Action"

I already put the props.CONF and transforms.CONF both on
C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\system\local

and C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\myapp\local

I also restarted splunk. Did some reinstallation, still its not working. what do you think is the issue on my configs?
