RSA NetWitness Live Feeds are not showing meta values for required meta keys n the Investigate page

Issue

When Live Feed deployed to Log Decoder, Required meta keys in Feed details will not generate meta values. 

Example:
Below feed generates meta values for highlighted meta keys.

Tasks

This is due to multiple reasons.
  1. Feeds may not be deployed to Log decoder
  2. Meta keys are not defined in table-map.xml and index-concentrator.xml files.
  3. FeedParser meta keys are not enabled.

Resolution

Please follow the below instructions to generate meta values.
  1. Verify if feeds deployed to Log Decoder using below commands in Log decoder putty.
    cd /etc/netwitness/ng/feeds/
    [root@BLRCSLogDecoder feeds]# ls -l
    total 260
