How to replace the host in the event with the output from an event?

We have a script running on <script-server> which produces the output as below. We are getting service stats running on different servers like Host-Server-A and Host-Server-B. Currently, the event is tagged to the server where the script is running. Can we change the configuration such that host=<Script-Server> will get replaced with Host.HostName in the event?

You need to create the following changes and then deploy them to each of your Indexers and restart the Splunk instances there.

In props.conf:

[OptimizeData]
TRANSFORMS-hostoverride=hostoverride

In transforms.conf:

[hostoverride]
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Host
REGEX = Error\s+Count:\s+([^,]+)
FORMAT = host::$1

The documentation is here:

Hi,

Can you help me with REGEX if I want to capture value assigned to Host.HostName="Host-Server" ?

Thanks,
P

Use this:

REGEX = Error\s+Count:\s+([^,]+).*\|Host\.HostName="(?<HostServer>[^"]+)"
