While Devo is designed to receive real-time data feeds, it's sometimes useful to upload static files if you want historical log data to be accessible in Devo for querying and analysis. These static files will always be stored in tables starting with the my.upload tag levels. If you need to send event files to a table other than a my.upload, please contact us.
What permissions do I need?
To be able to upload files, you need to have the Manage version of the Data upload permission. If you do not have this permission, you will not be able to see the option in the navigation pane and thus you will not be able to access this area to upload files.

Date parsing type | The date assigned to the events when parsing the data contained in your file. You have two options: can either use the date at the moment of uploading the file or use a date contained in the event information. If you choose Current date, each event will be assigned the date at the moment of uploading the file. If you choose Date from a log field, each event will be assigned a date that is included in their information. You must then indicate the Parsing log type so that Devo can scan the events and highlight the fields that it recognizes as possible date/time information. You can select one of the following options as a parsing type:
CSV: the file is treated as a typical CSV in which the sequence of fields is constructed using commas as delimiters. The resultant fields appear below for you to select the desired one to extract the date. Delimiter: if the delimiter in your file is not a comma, you can specify a different one. You just need to type the delimiter that matches the one contained in your file and then select one of the fields below to extract to date. Syslog: if your file complies with the syslog structure, you can select this option and the fields with a valid date format will appear below for you to select. Regular Expression: you can use a regular expression to establish a search pattern to find a piece of information that expresses a date. If you want to know more about regular expressions, the language they use and the syntax to construct them you can click the following link.

The fields that appear in light grey cannot be selected because they do not match the accepted format while the fields in green are the ones that coincide with a format recognized by Devo. Check the table at the end of the article to see the accepted date formats as well as some of the most recurrent regular expressions to search for dates. |
