I suspect this would have to be done at indexing?</P> <P>Many thanks and kind regards</P> <P>Chris</P> Fri, 24 May 2019 05:44:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/PII-In-Splunk/m-p/386140#M95193 IRHM73 2019-05-24T05:44:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/PII-In-Splunk/m-p/386141#M95194 <P>In general of course it is impossible to remove things you don't know about.
