hi,
i have some logs contain values separate by #.

exemple :

charlie#2016-10-11#125.44.23.10#Mozzila#resolvedTest#1#12

my objectif is to add new fields :
name = charlie
date = 2016-10-11
ip = 125.44.23.10
ua = Mozzila
status = resolvedTest
acted = 1
numact = 12

the separator is #

but how can i edit the configuration

Hi sfatnass,

Index your logs and create a custom sourcetype, for example, named mylogs. Then create custom search-time field extraction:

  1. Edit $SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps/search/local/props.conf:

    [mylogs]
    REPORT-mylogs = mylogs

  2. Edit $SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps/search/local/transforms.conf:

    [mylogs]
    DELIMS = "#"
    FIELDS = name date ip ua status acted numact

  3. Reload your configuration files through http://your_splunk_web_url:8000/en-US/debug/refresh , and your logs will have the correct fields extracted.

Hope it helps. Thanks!
Hunter

Try this:

props.conf
    [ mysourcetype ]
    SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
    NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
    TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%d
    TIME_PREFIX=\w+\#
    MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=10
    REPORT-mylogs = mylogs_fields

transforms.conf
    [mylogs_fields]
    DELIMS = "#"
    FIELDS = "name","date","ip","ua","status","acted","numact"

Bye.
Giuseppe

You could use the Interactive Field Extractor to extract these fields. Select the delim option and use # as the delimiter. You will then have an opportunity to name all the fields that are extracted.
