I've been attempting to route Syslog messages, coming from certain hosts, to a separate index with no success. Below is an example of my config:

Splunk\etc\system\local\

Props.conf
[syslog]
TRANSFORMS-index = test

Transforms.conf
[test]
REGEX = *
FORMAT = myindex
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index

"*" is not a valid regex. You need ".*".
