  1. Structured Data
    1. As suggested in the doc shared by you, structured data is parsed by UF.
    2. INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS parameter in the props.conf
  2. force_local_processing
    1. As suggested by @richgalloway - This will force linebreaker,
      aggerator, and the regexreplacement processors on UF.

Reference - props.conf - https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Propsconf 



I hope this helps!!!

The force_local_processing setting in props.conf will have the UF do some parsing.  See props.conf.spec for details.
