Hello there,
i got a Catalina log and i don't want to index lines that contains one of that word: API PROXY, WARN, ERROR

After that i want to aggregate some lines.

I'm using a Single instance deployment of Splunk7.1.

Can someone help me to delete the log lines?

Thanks

Don't you forget to modify your props.conf and restart splunk?

If you want to filter the captured logs, use "nullQueue".

Filter event data and send to queues

I tried with this transforms.conf file

[setnull]
REGEX = API PROXY|WARN|ERROR
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[setparsing]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

but it doesn't work

How is this done?

 [setnull]
 REGEX = (API PROXY|WARN|ERROR)
 DEST_KEY = queue
 FORMAT = nullQueue
