Hello,
Based on Splunk recommendation the best path for this file"props.conf" is: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local
If is not there then must be created.
In our case if in: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/ there are multiple files "props.conf", the props.conf naming is only for event parsing point of view, doesn't matter if there are a lot of files with the same name but different content?
The best way will be to create in: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local the file "props.conf" with the below content:
[MySourcetype]
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 19
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = False
LINE_BREAKER = ([\n\r]+)(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})
TRUNCATE = 999999
ANNOTATE_PUNCT = false
QUESTIONS:
??? Any examples/ suggestion regarding the "props.conf" content?
??? This file "props.conf" must be modified only on SH (SearchHead) or also on indexers?
Regards,
