Getting Data In

Why am I still seeing debug logs in the Splunk heavy forwarder filtering?

I have set the following on transforms.conf and props.conf but I still see DEBUG logs in my search. what did I miss

transforms.conf

#Remove: DEBUG
[null_kube_DEBUG]
REGEX = (DEBUG)
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue

props.conf

#### kube ################################
[source::kube.var.log.containers.*]
TRANSFORMS-null = null_kube_DEBUG

Can you try to use in props.conf:

 [null_kube_DEBUG]
 REGEX = DEBUG
 DEST_KEY=queue
 FORMAT=nullQueue

thanks for the response, but still not filtering DEBUG. is there any difference for the logs ingested via http even collector (HEC)? this issue only I got on the logs ingested via HEC, other logs ingested via UF I don't see this issue.

This will only affect the new incoming messages (any already ingested data would still showup in the search results). What does you DEBUG event look like? Can share a sample or two?
