Hi Joel,

I believe that interpretation depends on the context - I believe the 
answer to your question is: yes, it should be possible.

Can you send us a minimal example demonstrating how you load the file 
(there are different methods)?

Best regards

Christian

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
