Trying to route windows application logs to correct index based on event data. The scenario I have XmlWinEventLogs coming in normally using TA for windows and they head to the winos index. I would like to redirect some specific events to a different index.
Props.conf
[source::XmlWinEventLog:Application]
TRANSFORMS-citrix_xa_index = citrix_xenapp_index
Transforms.conf
[citrix_xenapp_index]
REGEX = Citrix
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = citrixxa
This should route all events containing "Citrix" to the citrixxa index. My question is the order of operation? Do Index redirects have to be performed before any other say sourcetype renaming that the windows TA does?
sean_auditum,
I have had the same issue. I wanted to redirect WinEventLog:Setup and XmlWinEventLog:Security to a different index as the logs were/are coming in main index. I have had a similar stanza as yours except I had "REGEX = ." in transforms.conf to send all logs to a different index. However, WinEventLog:Setup working but XmlWinEventLog:Security is not.
Still investigating.
I'll provide an update once I resolve this issue.
