Getting Data In

Looking for suggestions on how to mask email addresses that could be in almost any format in a JSON?

I have a JSON with an agonizing amount of PII which is mostly email addresses, but it is in no standard format and no standard postion within the JSON. Here are just some examples of the format:

\"email\":\"mr.rogers@bubba.com\"
\\\"email\\\":\\\"mr.rogers@bubba.com\\\"
\"loginNameOrEmail\": \"mr.rogers@bubba.com\"
\\\"loginNameOrEmail\\\": \\\"mr.rogers@bubba.com\\\"

I need to mask this in props and transforms before it gets indexed and I need to somehow account for all formats both known and unknown.

In your props.conf for the source-type add a SEDCMD possibly like this.

SEDCMD-email = s/[\w!#$%&'+=?^_‘{|}~.-]+@(?:[\w!#$%&'+=?^_‘{|}~.-]+)*/XXXXX@EMAIL/g
