Hi all!
There is a way to prevent the indexing of unnecessary fields? i'm indexing a syslog file from a firewall so i can do this at syslog server side but if it's possible I'd rather do it in splunk.

@davidepala you can have a scripted input to push only required data/fields to Splunk.
You can also use REGEX or SEDCMD to find regular expression based pattern and replace with space.

If you have to omin entire event from being indexed you can use nullqueue
