Is it possible to skip the default indexing that happens in splunk. I would like to get the raw data back without indexing it.

Are you saying that you want each input source to be a single event?

Perhaps I don't understand the question, but indexing is what makes it possible to get the raw data back. Splunk can't find your data without the index.

The splunk indexer convert the raw data into separate events to store it in its database or forward it. What i want is to skip the default indexing. I want the raw data not to be converted into events. Is it a posiblity?
