How do i disable forwarding for one sourcetype

Hi,

We need to send some security events to an external party.  We also need this for our internal use.

On my test instance I've configured outputs.conf as

 

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = security
indexAndForward = 1

[tcpout:security]
server = localhost:9999

Which has got my events flowing to my fake external server and leaves them accessible in the internal side. However I only want to send 2 source types there. How do i filter out the rest of the events?

Hi @pjcable,

as yu can read at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad#Replicate_a_subset...

to add a stanza in outputs.conf isn't enough, follow the configuration at the above link.

Ciao.
