I've been using the beleaf app to develop my Splunk knowledge. I've noticed that I am unable to control the Sources and Hosts. Is there a way to limit (aside from a search query) to prevent unwanted data in my results? Thanks!!

hey @ericrdecker
There are two ways to do this:

1)One way to prevent unwanted data is Discard specific events and keep the rest

have a look at this doc
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad#Discard_specif...

2) Another way is to blacklist the files at index time and index only specific file you want!
Refer this doc for the same
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/Data/Whitelistorblacklistspecificincomingdat...

let me know if this helps!
