Getting Data In

Filter events to nullQueue

Hi!

I am faced with the following problem. I need to filter the logs that I receive from the source. I get the logs via Heavy-Forwarder, using the following config:

inputs.conf

 

[udp://4514]
index=mylogs
sourcetype = mylogs:leef

 

 

Before writing regex I tried the following configuration:

props.conf

 

[mylogs:leef]
TRANSFORMS-null= setnull_mylogs

 

transoforms.conf

 

[setnull_mylogs]
REGEX= .
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue

 

But it is not working, I still receiving all events in indexes. This conf files store in <heavy_folder>/etc/apps/<app_name>/local.  May be I need to use another stanza name in props, but I tried [source::udp://4514] and it is not working. Any ideas? My goal than to write a few regex and receive only useful logs from this source. Thank you.

Hi

Probably you missed :port part from your input? Without : it doesn’t parse that input correctly. You could see e.g. https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/udp-portnumber-Event-Blacklist-How-do-I-prevent-unwa...

You have typo on transforms.conf name on your examples, but probably it’s correct on your HF? And you have restarted it after modify those configurations?
