Hi @egcp,

you can follow the instructions at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/Anonymizedata

You have two methods:

  • using SEDCMD
  • using props.conf and transfroms.conf

Using SEDCMD, you have to put in your props.conf:

[your_sourcetype]
SEDCMD-xxx = s/"authenticationValue":"\w+"/"authenticationValue":"****************************"/g

Using props.conf and transforms.conf:

props.conf:
[your_sourcetype]
TRANSFORMS-anonym,izer = session-anonymizer


transforms.conf:
[session-anonymizer]
REGEX = \"authenticationValue\":\"(\w+\)\"
FORMAT = \"authenticationValue\":\"(**********)\"
DEST_KEY = _raw

there also some videos to teach about this topic in YouTube Splunk channel.

Ciao.

Giuseppe

Hi @egcp,

the first check to perform is on the regex: use the "regex" command to check if the regex is correct

<your_search>
| rex mode=sed "SEDCMD-xxx = s/"authenticationValue":"\w+"/"authenticationValue":"****************************"/g"

then, where is this props.conf?

it must be located on the indexers or (if present) on Heavy Forwarders.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
