Most raw data that you will encounter will have some form of structure. Just like a CSV (comma-separated value) file or a web log file, it is assumed that each entry in the log corresponds to some sort of format. Splunk makes custom field extraction very easy, especially for delimited files. Let's take the case of our Eventgen data and look at the following example. By design, the raw data generated by Eventgen is delimited by commas. Following is a example of a raw event:
