In props.conf:

[YourSourcetypeHere]
REPORT-filename_from_source = filename_from_source

In transforms.conf:

[filename_from_source]
SOURCE_KEY = source
REGEX = [^\\\/]+$
FORMAT = finename::$1

What you want to do with these path in the transforms.conf? Search time or index time?

there is one entry defined for log inputs. this happens to resolve to (at least) 6 different source files. Each unique file type should have a sourcetype, however these are all assigned to a single sourcetype.

I have to create each source type for that source paths

If you're looking to capture the filenames, try this

 \/src\/tomcat7\/iiq\/logs\/(.*)

Or if you're extracting as a field

 \/src\/tomcat7\/iiq\/logs\/(?<fileName>.*)
