I want to ignore few keyword contained events at forwarder level NOT at indexer.
 Below are the sample log: to Ignore if it finds "INFO OR WARN" messages in log file.
what it would be the file name & config  in UF to tell UF to ignore those events.

Please let me know the settings in UF level to ignore.

Ignore Contained "INFO/WARN"

Hi,

it will require a combination of props.conf and transforms.conf configs. Try these on a HF and restart it.

 

transforms.conf
[all_logs]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

[info_warn_discard]
REGEX = (INFO|WARN)
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

 

 

 

props.conf
TRANSFORMS-routing = info_warn_discard, all_logs

UFs do not have the ability to filter data.  That requires a Heavy Forwarder (HF) and is done the same way as on an indexer.
