Character encoding #2

Open Schiggy-3000 opened 1 year ago

Hi everyone,

First off, thank you for providing this app =)

I regularly can't import data from Splunk due to encoding errors. E.g. data in Splunk is UTF-8 encoded, Dataiku only accepts ascii. The issue is, that the app does not let me specify the encoding of Splunk data (UTF-8, ascii, ...). Since Splunk data is usually rather voluminous, fixing this problem on the Splunk side means reindexing a lot of data which is associated with significant costs.

Following an example error message:

`... 2023-03-21 15:44:56,091 INFO SplunkIndexConnector:Connected to Splunk

any update here, or @Schiggy-3000 did you manage to work around?

Hi @M-Shash

In deed there is a workaround. You can find the solution here: https://community.dataiku.com/discussion/33251/importing-splunk-data#latest

Or in brief, do the following:

Convert the plugin into a dev plugin, then edit line 91 of the file named python-connectors/splunk_import-index/connector.py, from this:

for sample in content.decode().split("\n"):

into this:

for sample in content.decode("utf-8").split("\n"):
