How to blacklist the logs to stop ingesting into splunk.

[AL3Z]

Hi,

I had blacklisted C:\\Program Files\\SplunkUniversalForwarder\\bin\\splunk.exe  in inputs.conf  of Deploymentserver.

blacklist3 = EvenCode="4688" Message="(?:New Process Name:).+(?:SplunkUniversalForwarder\\bin\\splunk.exe)
Still I can see the logs ingestion into splunk,  How we can stop this ingestion.

Hi @AL3Z,

I suppose that you modified the inputs.conf in the Add-On (located in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps) that is deployed using the Deployment Server, is it correct?

To be more sure, check if the regex you used is correct in the search dashboard.

Ciao.

Hi, @gcusello ,

yes I've  modified the inputs.conf in the Add-On (located in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps) that is deployed using the Deployment Server.

When I try this in search head it is not giving any results , Do we need to modify spl ? 
index=winsec host=xxx
| regex  "(?:New Process Name:).+(?:SplunkUniversalForwarder\\bin\\splunk.exe)"

Thanks

Hi @AL3Z,

if you don't have results to the control search and you have all the other logs, you solved your issue.

Ciao.
