Is it possible to prevent specific logs from routing to a 3rd party vendor? We have IPS system that is generating too much logs for our 3rd party vendor. Logs appear fine in our Splunk environment. My only dilemma is that our heavy forwarder receives logs from various network devices sending logs using UDP:514. Other than changing the port number on our IPS systems is their another way to use props.conf and transform.conf to avoid sending logs to a 3rd party vendor and keep the logs in Splunk only?
The best way is log to a syslog receiver such as syslog-ng or rsylsog. Write data to files and use the Universal forwarder to pick up the logs. It is best to avoid taking syslog straight into Splunk with a network input.
