Universal forwarders and light forwarders do not have the ability to inspect individual events except in the case of file header extractions, but they can still forward data based on a data stream's host, source, or source type. They can also route based on the data's input stanza, as described below, in the subtopic, "Route inputs to specific indexers based on the data's input".</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad</A></P> Sat, 14 May 2016 20:01:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-drop-events-at-the-source-with-a-universal/m-p/248939#M47905 sundareshr 2016-05-14T20:01:29Z
