2014-01-11 00:01:01,050 [608c608c] MAJOR: SFTP Inbound - Zero Byte File Check
2013-12-05 15:34:00,895 [275f275f] +MAJOR: Stacktrace of root exception
.
.
.
etc
Some search is appplied on the above statements and a report is created.I want to exclude the log statement
"2014-01-11 00:01:01,050 [608c608c] MAJOR: SFTP Inbound - Zero Byte File Check"
in the log file from being searched and create a report.Is there any option in splunk to do this?

Try adding the following to your search portion of your search. The NOT must be all caps.

NOT "*MAJOR: SFTP Inbound - Zero Byte File Check*"

Slightly rewritten for readability - does this produce the desired results?

index=fxr (SUCCESS File successfully uploaded) OR (MAJOR NOT "SFTP Inbound - Zero Byte File Check")

/K
