How do I discard all hosts that begin with ISE in transforms.conf?

Hi,

I want to look at the host field and discard all hosts that begin with ISE. How would I do that? My understanding is that only certain regexes are available for host in transforms?

Like this:

In props.conf:

[yourSourceTypeHere]
TRANSFORMS-remove_ISE_hosts = remove_ISE_hosts

In transforms.conf:

[remove_ISE_hosts]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Host
REGEX = "^ISE"
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

You can read more about this at Filter Event Data and Send to Queues:

Does this read just the host field, or the entire raw event?

It reads just the host field and if it starts with "ISE", the entire event will be skipped.
