Hi All,

Is there a way to exclude certain fields from my JSON data? For example: I have the below JSON Format event with fields A , B and C.

{

A : XXXX..
B : YYYY...
C : ZZZZ....

}

Is there a way to remove the fields B and C along with its values from the search result?

You can use SEDCMD to replace with empty strings. See if this link helps

props.conf

[sourcetype stanza]
SEDCMD-removefieldB = s/B:\w+//g
SEDCMD-removefieldC = s/C:\w+//g
