PingFederate does not set eventtype correctly for logs

Hi,

I have a weird thing in my splunk.

query one :

index=index1 eventtype="*.sso.*" saml.host1.domain.local

result -> 3 events

query two:

index=index1 saml.host1.domain.local.

result -> 6 events.

All 6 events match eventtype :

[idp.sso.success]
search = source=*audit.log event="SSO" AND role="IdP" AND status="success"

But just some of them have eventtype=idp.sso.success.

Somehow source=*audit.log makes mess here... Despite it is the same for all these logs it does not match idp.sso.success search.
Moreover all these events come form one file and just for half of them eventtype=idp.sso.success.

Could anybody help ?

Splunk version is 6.5.2.

Thanks

solved by changing :
[idp.sso.success]
search = source=audit.log event="SSO" AND role="IdP" AND status="success"
to
[idp.sso.success]
search = source=*audit.log
event="SSO" AND role="IdP" AND status="success"

No clue why but sometimes source had a whitespace at the end added by splunk.
