Ingest Action configuration

Hello,

In the Ingest Action, can we cross-check by host rather than by sourcetype?

Hi @Baptiste 

The UI will only let you use a sourcetype for setting up Ingest Action, however you can update the props.conf to make it apply to a host instead e.g. take the following props.conf example:

[traefik:access:common]
RULESET-DropHECLog = _rule:DropHECLog:filter:regex:fyttbila
RULESET_DESC-DropHECLog = 

For host:

[host::yourHostName]
RULESET-DropHECLog = _rule:DropHECLog:filter:regex:fyttbila
RULESET_DESC-DropHECLog =
