Anonymize a Folder of Data

I am hoping to anonymize a set of data that is sorted into different folders. I found this command, and I was hoping there was a way to alter it to anonymize a folder instead of a file. It would be very time consuming to do each individual file separately.

./splunk anonymize file -source

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Try:


find pathnameOfDataFolder -exec echo ./splunk anonymize file -source {} \;

Remove the word "echo" above when you are sure the output is what you want executed.
