Getting Data In

Index for specific hosts, except for splunkd sourcetype

I have setup a props.conf with:
[host::server*]
TRANSFORMS-movetonewindex = newindex

And a transforms.conf with:
[newindex]
REGEX = .*
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = new

How do I not send the splunkd sourcetype to the "new" index and let it go to where it normally goes?

You could just do this:

props.conf

[splunkd]
TRANSFORMS-stayput = leaveitalone

transforms.conf

[leaveitalone]
REGEX = .*
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = _internal
