Case Sensitive?

Have a tested Regex I am trying to use to keep events. I ran it through some online regex checkers. When I run it through Splunk I am not getting my events. I think it is a case issue, how do I make this entire expression case insensitive?

Props.conf

[vippapp]
TRANSFORMS-vipp1=setnull,setparsingvipp

Transforms.conf

[setnull]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[setparsingvipp]

REGEX = updating status for request \d* to \d|jvm appears hung: timed out waiting for signal from jvm
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = vipp

Thanks

hazekamp you were correct, need to send to the indexQueue and not the index name, Thanks! I misread how that was to be setup in the documenation.

Here is what is working for me now.
Props.conf

[mcvippapp]
TRANSFORMS-mcvipp1=setnull,setmcvipp

[pcvippapp]
TRANSFORMS-pcvipp1=setnull,setpcvipp

transforms.conf

[setnull]
REGEX=.
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue

[setmcvipp]
REGEX=(?m)Updating status for request \d* to (3|4|5)$|JVM appears hung
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=indexQueue

[setpcvipp]
REGEX=(?m)Updating status for the request id = \d* from (5|7) to (6|8)$|JVM appears hung
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=indexQueue

Looks like I needed to use (?m) as well. Have not tried the (?i) yet. Thanks for the help. Hope this helps someone else.

dchodur,

I think the main issue here is with your "setparsingvipp" transforms.conf stanza. You are sending data to the "vipp" queue, which is not a valid Splunk queue. Do you want this to go to the "parsingQueue" instead?

though, fwiw, you simply prefix a PCRE regular expression with (?i) to make it case-insensitive.
