Currently we are looking ingesting events that have multiple eventIDs that log in new lines. We want to have those appear as one event in splunk since trying to run a "| transaction event_id" slows our searches down significantly.
It looks like we should be able to use transactiontypes.conf but I am confused on how to get this to work. We are extracting the event_id in props.conf with event_id_test and then have a transactiontypes.conf that is looking to perform a transaction on the fields event_id_test but so far it is not performing the transaction at all though the event_id_test field is being extracted. I tried reading through the docs for this but can not see what I am missing or doing wrong based on the splunk docs on this.
props.conf:
[test_props] EXTRACT-et = \.\d{3}\:(?P<event_id_test>\d+)
transactiontypes.conf:
[test_props] maxspan=5s maxpause=5s fields=event_id_test
