Getting Data In

How can I filter out HTTP 301 and 302 on a linux Heavy forwarder so that it doesn't forward those logs to the cloud indexer

I am new to Splunk and can see previous post for filtering out Security logs. Please would anyone be able to help with filtering out certain HTTP traffic?

Post some sample data and we can give you some working regex to go with it.

from the document, To discard specific events and keep the rest
This example discards all sshd events in /var/log/messages by sending them to nullQueue:

  1. In props.conf, set the TRANSFORMS-null attribute:

[source::/var/log/messages]
TRANSFORMS-null= setnull
2. Create a corresponding stanza in transforms.conf. Set DEST_KEY to "queue" and FORMAT to "nullQueue":

[setnull]
REGEX = [sshd]
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue
That does it.

could you please update us the http error log and few 301 and 302 sample messages
