Getting Data In

heavy forwarder to route base on _raw values

I'm trying to use the heavy forwarder to route data to different indexes based on values in _raw , is this possible ?

the configuration files are:

inputs.conf:

[tcp://9997]

sourcetype = FromFooandBarbysinglehost

props.conf:

[FromFooandBarbysinglehost]

BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^

TRANSFORMS-routing = FromFoo,FromBar

transforms.conf:

[FromFoo]

REGEX = (?i) From|.+?Foo

DEST_KEY = _TCP_ROUTING

FORMAT = outtoFoo

[FromBar]

REGEX = (?i) From|.+?Bar

DEST_KEY = _TCP_ROUTING

FORMAT = outtoBar

outputs.conf:

[tcpout:outtoFoo]

server = 10.10.10.10:1111

sendCookedData = false

[tcpout:outtoBar]

server = 10.10.10.10:2222

sendCookedData = false

in the indexer 10.10.10.10 the TCP port 1111 is indexed to foo index , and 2222 is indexed to Bar index)

me problem is that I see both foo data and bar data in both indexes , it is like there is no termination to the transforms process and both are sent to both ports.

I double checked my REGEX in the search bar in splunk and it does show only the relevant data

what am I missing ?

_TCP_ROUTING is used to send data to another indexer. If the data is already at the indexer you want, just use the _MetaData:Index key to change the index for that event.

[FromFoo]
REGEX = (?i) From|.+?Foo
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = foo_index

[FromBar]
REGEX = (?i) From|.+?Bar
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = bar_index

no , the tcpout redirect the data to different TCP ports on the indexer and each port has its own source type and index

when your data arrives in the indexers, what is the sourcetype? Is it FromFooandBarbysinglehost?
