Here,we have used regular expression in EVENT_BREAKER. If after that, it also find the mentioned delimiter at other lines, it will not break those lines into another events.Īlways remember, that the delimiter part will not be disabled.įrom Step:1 and Step:2 will be same as before. So, it matches the delimiter only for the first time and creates the new event. Now ,you can see that as I have given the delimiter comma that’s why the first line which has comma inside it, the lines after that comma have gone to another event for the given sourcetype. Let’s see in Search Head that how the data is being parsed. Then, I have mentioned the EVENT_BREAKER=(,).But you can mention any regular expression in the place of comma according to the type of your data and requirement.Īfter configuring configuration files you always should restart splunk in UF, so that all the changes will be will be updated.Īfter restarting splunk you just have to go to sample.txt again and write that sample data there It improves distribution of data from UF to receivers for a given source type. But, if you will not mention EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE, by default it is false. In the above I have mentioned EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE=true. $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/system/local.Īs you can see I have mentioned here the sourcetype=data, then in nf I have to mention the sourcetype in stanza. In the next step we will configure nf, where I will give the absolute path of sample.txt, index name and mention the metadata(host,source,sourcetype). You can use any other location or any existing file for storing you data. Here, I have created one file called sample.txt in /tmp location. There are basically 2 ways of line breaking so we will show you that 2 - ways.įirst, you have to go to the location where you want save the sample data and there you have to create a file where you want to save your data. so to do that we need, 4 - lines and for that 4 - lines we will write some regular expressions. It helps the UF to distribute data more evenly among all the receivers.įollowing is the sample data on which we are going to perform parsing: Hi today we will gonna show you ]] how, to do line break. The necessity of using nf in Uf is to improve the load balancing during the forwarding of data from UF to receivers. For parsing some data we use nf and also we do parsing on the Heavy Forwarder(HF).Today we will show you how to break the events using EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE and EVENT_BREAKER attributes.īut this two attributes we have to use only inside the nf of Universal Forwarder.We will discuss about it later.įirst of all what is the necessity of using nf in UF, as we always use nf in HF. But for on-boarding, parsing and filtering some data in Splunk you have to be confident in handling the configurations files. It is the responsibility of Splunk Developers. You all know that for creating any dashboards, reports, alerts etc.
