Hi,
I have a file which contains the below content:
abhay|vikram|singh|26|kolkata
murari|kumar|singh|28|mumbai
I want to replace "|" to "\ |" before importing to the splunk, I have heard that it is possible if I write it in props.conf but it is not working, Kindly suggest me how to solve this problem as this is needed in urgent basis
Thanks in advance
Maybe this is what you need: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Data/Anonymizedatausingconfigurationfiles
You're trying to solve the wrong problem. The real problem is why your delimiters aren't working as they should.
i have the same problem, how to replace \ with \\ while searching?
thankyou for ur time
Unclear to me why you want to do this, or why this would be helpful to you after the data has been imported.
What is "haha" ?
also, try and add a back slash "\" before the first pipe character in the sed command. this forum seems to remove my backslashes:
SEDCMD-dekh=s/|/ |/g
[haha]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = False
SEDCMD-dekh=s/|/ |/g
REPORT-dekh=dekhbhai
this is my props.conf but it is not working properly
That should be:
[source::.../abc.log]
SEDCMD-abc = s/|/ |/g
s for substitute, and g for global, replace all occurrences, not just the first.
The page linked before shows really examples. No?
You should show the relevant part of your props.conf so people can help you.
I have not used this before, but I would try something like:
[source::.../abc.log]
SEDCMD-abc = y/|/ |/
That's trying to say: replace any "|" with " |"
I am trying to use in props.conf but it is not working kindly help me out with some real example
Thanks for your help
