How can index specific event in log?

Hello I hope can you help me

For example I have this event in log:

18-05-30;15:38:06.282 \hola.1,237 aaaaaa bbb
ccccccc ddd

With configuration below index only events that cointain ddd in log

props.conf

[tef]
TRANSFORMS-set= setnull,setparsing

transforms.conf

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

[setparsing]
REGEX = ddd
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

But I don't want index event complete, only "ddd"

Thank you in advance

if your event parsing is correct, I think you just need to reverse order in the props - transforms-set. First Match and send to indexqueue, then everything else to nullqueue

TRANSFORMS-set= setparsing,setnull
