Hi
I have a .csv file without header but with fixed fields which i would like to send to my Splunk server with the universal forwarder on the according Linux host.
I understand that i need to configure the inputs.conf on the universal forwarder and that i need to define the .csv on the indexer in props.conf like following:
[mycsv]
FIELD_DELIMITER=,
FIELD_NAMES=field1,field2,field3,field4
However, it's not clear to me in which props.conf i need to define the above definition. I have found the following props.conf on my Indexer/Splunk server?
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_internal_metrics/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SplunkLightForwarder/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_apache/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/sample_app/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/legacy/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_instrumentation/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_archiver/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_monitoring_console/default/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/learned/local/props.conf
/opt/splunk/etc/system/default/props.conf
Do i need to copy the props.conf from: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/default/props.conf
to: /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/props.conf and then modify it with my above [mycsv] definition?
Or do i need to modify the props.conf in: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/default/props.conf and leave it there?
Or do i need to modify the props.conf in: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/default/props.conf?
Or is it any of the other props.conf?
I only want to search the index after with the standard search in Splunk.
Kind Regards and thanks in advance for any help
