Getting Data In

Anonymize Indexed data

Hi,

I have some data in my Splunk indexer (historical data) and I want to anonymize it now. Is there any better way to SCRUB it instead of deleting the data?

I'm using  SE v7.1.7

Once data is indexed it cannot be changed in any way.  Anonymization must occur before or during the indexing process.
