SEDCMD and license volume

[southeringtonp]

When using SEDCMD to strip data from an event, does the entire event count toward license usage, or only the portion of the event that is actually retained?

---

For example, if I have an event like:

Field1=Something|Field2=SomethingReally....Long|Field3=SomethingElse

And apply:

SEDCMD=s/Field2=[^|]+//g

Will the contents of Field2 count against the license cap?

[twinspop · Accepted solution]

gkanapathy has previously stated that SEDCMD substitutions happen before license accounting. So, no, the contents of Field2 should not be included in your license usage.

Ah, good catch! I looked for the previous answer but missed it somehow.
