Troubleshooting


Problem

How should I resolve the issue that multi bytes "-" character is garbled by EIF probe on cross platform?

Symptom

When an event is sent by Log File Agent on Windows platform to EIF probe on UNIX/Linux platform, only multi bytes "-" character in Japanese string on the event was garbled. At the same time, all the other characters including multi bytes characters in the event message are shown correctly.
