Getting Data In

Filtering out data

Hi Team,

We want to filter out the data during indexing time itself if the particular pattern (com.splunk.application) is captured in log. Hence kindly let us know what would be the props and transforms for the same. And the remaining data should ingest into splunk without any issues.

Pattern: If the keyword is present "com.splunk.application" in the event then it should not be indexed.

Sample Event:

DEBUG 2019-10-18 18:43:32,487 [I/O marker 01] com.splunk.applicationinsights.web.url.https.implementation.xxx.client.Maininstallerprog - [ad: 1] Response
processed

DEBUG 2019-10-18 18:43:32,487 [I/O marker 01] com.splunk.applicationinsights.web.url.https.implementation.xx.client.Internalmessage - [ex: 1] releasing connection

props.conf

[YOUR_SOURCETYPE]
TRANSFORMS-null= setnull

transforms.conf

[setnull]
SOURCE_KEY=_raw
REGEX = (com.splunk.application)
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

Note: Do change regular expression if required.
