I am new to splunk and I have inherited a system that forwards log in CEF CSV format. These logs are then tar'd up and sent to the distant end (which does happen successfully). The issue I have is when the splunk server picks up the CEF CSV it has epoch time as the first entry of every log in the CEF CSV file. This makes the next hop/stop aggregator I send to unhappy. original host (forwarder) -> splunk host -> splunk host -> master aggregator (arcsight type server) example: 1706735561, "blah blah blah" the file cef.csv says it's doing "_time","_raw" When I look at what I think is the setup for time (etc/datetime.xml), _time does not have anything about epoch or %s in there. How do I configure the CEF CSV to omit the epoch time? As I mentioned earlier, I am totally new to splunk. Any help would be fantastic.
