Getting Data In

Route index data based on source

Hi,

Is it possible using props.conf and transforms.conf to route some data on an index based on the source field?

Let's say index1 contains a lot of sources, in some sources it contains certain words in the path for example

(source="*dev-ksm*" OR source="*int-ksm*" OR source="*qa-ksm*" OR source="*amq-*-ksm*")

For this scenario I'd like to route events that their source contains the above matching sources to an index2

Was thinking in something like this:

props.conf

[index::current_index]
TRANSFORMS-routing=filter-to-new_index

 

transforms.conf

[filter-to-new_index]
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index 
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Source 
REGEX = (?i)(.*dev-ksm.*|.*int-ksm.*|.*qa-ksm.*|.*amq-.*-ksm.*)
FORMAT = new_index

 

Does not seem to be currently working. Hence the question if its possible to do something like this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @rreatiga,

in the header of the props.conf stanza, you cannot use "index::current_index" but only sourcetype or source or host fields.

for source and host, you can also use jolly char, something like this:

props.conf

[source::*dev-ksm*]
TRANSFORMS-routing=filter-to-new_index

[source::*int-ksm*]
TRANSFORMS-routing=filter-to-new_index

[source::*qa-ksm*]
TRANSFORMS-routing=filter-to-new_index

[source::*amq-*-ksm*]
TRANSFORMS-routing=filter-to-new_index

transorms.conf

[filter-to-new_index]
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index 
REGEX = .
FORMAT = new_index

Ciao.
