Hi Splunkers,

We have requirement to monitor wineventlogswith sourcename MSSQL and will be sent to different sets of IDX.

For global IDX,  the wineventlogs inputs will be sourcename MSSQL only
For abc-region, the wineventlogs inputs will be sourcename MSSQL and ComputerName with ending in "abc.com" domain (e.g. XXXXX.abc.com, YYYY.abc.com).

With this, is the configurations below correct? Looking forward to your insights.
