Getting Data In

Stash data going to main index

anyone knows why stash sourcetype for a particular app(demisto in this case) going to index=main?
i believe these are notables. I will like to know which .conf file contains this setting and how to change from main index to another index.

Thanks
Ben

Check your inputs.conf file and see what index is specified init. I think by default it will have index=main, update it to index=YourIndexName and restart the service.
