How do I route based on host and source type?

Hi,

I am routing traffic to a 3rd party. I have done some of this based on a host and others based on the source type.

But I now need to route based on a host and a sourcetype and I can't work out how to do it?

Any tips of where to look?

I think you could do something along these lines, triggering the transforms based on sourcetype, but inside the transforms config filter by host using the REGEX.

props.conf:

[yoursourcetype]
TRANSFORMS-setrouting = your-routing

transforms.conf

[your-routing]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Host
REGEX = (host1|host2|...|hostn)
DEST_KEY = _TCP_ROUTING
FORMAT = your-outputgroup

What if we have multiple hosts , say 500 and above can we mark and * to pick up all the host name .

REGEX = (host*)

If my host name starts with ABCD and if i say ABCD* will this work ?. Or say my events have these hosts under a field called computername 

REGEX = (?ms)(ComputerName=ABCD*.domain.com)
