Rename fields in source

Joannna

Hello 🙂

 

I have splunk getting data from a folder everyday.

Recently the files changed the name of the fields.

Here is a sample there are 44 fields in total,

Old 	New
Number	number
Correlation ID	correlation_id
Opened	opened_at
Priority	priority
Category	category
Site	u_customer_site
Domain	u_domain
Nature	u_nature

 

I was wondering if there is anyway i can make this change without needing to add to every single dashboard the | rename as 44 times.

Add 44 FIELDALIAS settings in the appropriate props.conf stanza.

You could put the renames in a macro and then call the macro from your dashboards.
