Hello Splunkers! Your help is appreciated! I have a log source coming into Splunk via HEC. The log is in json format, it has a field called "_time"  as showed below: and the problem comes, this "_time" field will fail the time extraction. I defined a source type as follow: It's not working, the _time is set the timestamp when log arrives. I'm using splunk cloud.  Please share your experience in case you have encountered same issue before.  Regards, Iris ... View more

Hello Everyone, I want to check if a field called "from_header_displayname" contains any Unicode. Below is the event source, this example event contains the unicode of "\u0445": "from_header_displayname": "'support@\u0445.comx.com' And the following what I see from the web console, the unicode has been translated into "x" (note: it's not the real letter x, but something looks like x in the other language) from_header_displayname: 'support@х.comx.com' I used the following search but no luck: index=email | regex from_header_displayname="[\u0000-\uffff]" Error in 'SearchOperator:regex': The regex '[\u0000-\uffff]' is invalid. Regex: PCRE2 does not support \F, \L, \l, \N{name}, \U, or \u. Please advise what should I use in this case. Thanks in advance. Regards, Iris ... View more

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to add index filtering for the datamodels in my setup. I found for some datamodels such as Vulnerabilities, there's no matching data at all.  In this case, should I create an empty index for these datamodels? so that splunk won't do useless search for them. Please also know me if there are better solution for this case. Thanks & Regards, Iris ... View more

Hello Guys, We are using Splunk Cloud and have created multiple HECs for different products. We noticed that events coming in through HEC always have "xxx.splunkcloud.com" as the value of the host field. Is there a way to assign different hostnames to different products? Thanks & Regards, Iris ... View more

Hello,  I'm wondering if we can send the PaloAlto firewall logs to splunk *cloud* via HEC? We've done that once when evaluating other SIEM solution (crowd-strike NG-SIEM). As to splunk, the documents I can find in Internet all recommend using this flow:  PaloAlto -> syslog-ng+universal forwarder -> splunk cloud. Does anyone know why HEC is not a preferred option in this case? any potential issue here? Regards, Iris ... View more
