Getting Data In

Remove or replace multivalue field before to index

Hello,

I have a .json that contains any multivalue fields.

I would like to avoid that any multivalue field be indexed, because It contais a lot of data that I want to avoid index.

Is there any way to do It?

I have try other options like replace all multivalue text by a character, with the follow command ( | rex field="changelog.histories{}.history" mode=sed "s/(^.+)/x/g" )in a search, and I am able to change:
asderdas
asd34sdas
asdaserwerw
by 
x
x
x

although I have tried with SEDCMD-xyz = s/"changelog.histories{}.history"=^.+/x/g in "Add data"-"Set sourcetype" window- Advanced and I don't achieve It.
I would like to avoid index "changelog.histories{}.history" or change:
asderdas
asd34sdas
asdaserwerw
by
x
(changing all multivalue values for only a character(x for example)

Is It possible?

Thanks a lot and regards

Daniel

Hi @DanielSp,

Props.conf SEDCMD command works on _raw data. That is why your regex must be able to capture patterns from raw data.
