Hi Team,

[host::1.(xx|xx).xx.xx(x|y)]
TRANSFORMS-change_index_abc_secure = change_index_abc_secure

 

[change_index_abc_secure]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Index
REGEX = os, os_secure
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Index
FORMAT = index::abc_secure

 

I need to route the logs from certain host to index=abc_secure (not all the logs only os and os_secure logs)

Below config worked


Props

[host::LIANS*]
TRANSFORMS-change_index_abc_secure = change_index_abc_secure

Transforms.conf

[change_index_abc_secure]
SOURCE_KEY = _MetaData:Index
REGEX = os|os_secure
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = abc_secure

Hi @gcusello 

Yes, this is fine, also I want the logs only from the hostname LIANS*

Will the below props and transforms work?

props.conf

[host=LIANS*]
TRANSFORMS-change_index_abc_secure = change_index_abc_secure

transforms.conf

[change_index_abc_secure]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Index
REGEX = os|os_secure
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Index
FORMAT = index::abc_secure

Hi @VijaySrrie,

please try this props.conf

[host::LIANS*]
TRANSFORMS-change_index_abc_secure = change_index_abc_secure

even if I'm not sure that's possible to use the asterisk in props.conf , could you try using a sourcetype instead host?

Ciao.

Hi @VijaySrrie,

if you want to redirect only logs where index contains os or os_secure you have to use a different regex:

[change_index_abc_secure]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Index
REGEX = os|os_secure
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Index
FORMAT = index::abc_secure

Ciao.
