Getting Data In

Mask/Encrypt Specific field from universal forwarder agent side

Hi everybody,

I need your assistance if you have encountered this problem or not since I want to mask a particular field before it is processed by SPLUNK indexers.
I need to mask a particular field because the data will be transferred via a universal forwarder (an externally installed agent).

Regards, Amira
