What i want is to skip the default indexing. I want the raw data not to be converted into events. Is it a posiblity?</P> Fri, 03 Jan 2014 13:00:25 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-skip-the-default-indexing-in-splunk/m-p/194797#M38775 saipavan 2014-01-03T13:00:25Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-skip-the-default-indexing-in-splunk/m-p/194798#M38776 <P>Describe your use case from a more abstract point of view.</P> Fri, 03 Jan 2014 13:47:10 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-skip-the-default-indexing-in-splunk/m-p/194798#M38776 martin_mueller 2014-01-03T13:47:10Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-skip-the-default-indexing-in-splunk/m-p/194799#M38777 <P>Are you saying that you want each input source to be a single event?</P> Mon, 06 Jan 2014 05:39:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-skip-the-default-indexing-in-splunk/m-p/194799#M38777 lguinn2 2014-01-06T05:39:28Z
