Cant get DEBUG messages filtered out at all on splunkforwarder.

Did create $SPLUNKHOME/etc/system/local/transforms.conf

[debug-setnull]
REGEX = DEBUG
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

Did copy props.conf drom default to $SPLUNKHOME/etc/system/local/props.conf

[source::.../*.log]
TRANSFORMS = debug-setnull

restarted splunkforwarder

Result: Still get DEBUG Messages sent to Splunkserver.
Don't know whi it not works. Does forwarder works not with transforms.conf?

if run check debug, get following message.
splunk btool check –debug
 -> No spec file for: /usr/local/splunk/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/transforms.conf

Thanks for help
Peter

You need to set this up on the indexer not the forwarder as that's where these rules are applied.
