Hi,
I want to override the "unknown" index that some of my syslog messages are coming in as, using props and transforms. The index part is working, but the sourcetype is not setting. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... if someone can take a look, I'd appreciate it.
props.conf:
[unknown]
KV_MODE=auto
ANNOTATE_PUNCT=false
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 50
TRANSFORMS-set = ciscoIOS_index_parser,ciscoIOS_sourcetype_parser
transforms.conf:
[ciscoIOS_index_parser]
REGEX = %[A-Z_]+-[0-9]-[A-Z_]+:
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = cisco
[ciscoIOS_sourcetype_parser]
REGEX = %[A-Z_]+-[0-9]-[A-Z_]+:
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Sourcetype
FORMAT = sourcetype::cisco:ios
Cross reference to a related question (I think): https://answers.splunk.com/answers/637913/help-with-syslog-tranformsprops.html
Should be DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype
without the _
.
