Data Obfuscation at search time

[vj8210]

Hi,

We have a urgent requirement to obfuscate data at search time or while extracting reports from splunk.

Please help me understand if we can obfuscate at search time if not? then how we can achive it. before Indexing?

What are you using the data for?

One option is to create Databases which contain obfuscated data which can be used for these purposes.
