Hi,

I have a python script with json string which is sent to splunk cloud through Universal Forwarder. Since I have ":" character in my json string, the string is not indexed due to missing escape character. I tried adding \ manually for escaping, but the indexed data shows the ":" character with "\" as prefix.

Please suggest a way to escape : in my python script or a way to eliminate the \ in indexed data.
