According to the documentation here I need to have ids_type in my events as follows ids_type="network" or ids_type="application" or ids_type="host". How can I add a field value pair to my events automatically? Would I have to create this in transforms.conf?
[netdefender]
REGEX = Netdefender
FORMAT = ids_type=network
WRITE_META = true
This is a portion of a sample event:
Jan 30 10:32:43 192.168.1.1 Netdefender: 30-01-2014 02:54:05 WARNING
I am not sure how this works its been a long day. Help please!

If you want to add an additional field for each sourcetype you can use calculated fields.
e.g.
props.conf (assuming 'netdefender' is your sourcetype name)
[netdefender]
pulldown_type = 1
EVAL-ids_type = "network"
This will add a field ids_type="network" for all the logs in sourcetype "netdefender"

first of all you would need to specify something to extract in the regex, could we see some sample code in order to help you?
