[Help] Renaming field of a specific source

Zyon

Hi,

I am using multiple sources in a single search command and i want to rename the _raw field of one of the source type.

My current search:

sourcetype="blacklisted ip" OR sourcetype="log" | rename _raw as blacklisted

I want to change the _raw field of blacklisted ip into blacklisted, and leave the _raw field of log as default.

Thanks a lot.

If you want to get rid of the data of the specific sourcetype please use the transforms.conf file to null queue... And yes you can rename the _raw field as well, but its temporary.
