How to Exclude private IP range from transforms

I want to exclude the (dst="10.0.0.0/8" OR dst="172.16.0.0/12" OR dst="192.168.0.0/16")  IP ranges. 

 

my configurations:

props.conf:

TRANSFORMS-null = internal_Logs10, internal_Logs172, internal_Logs192

Transforms.conf:

[internal_Logs10]
REGEX = dst\=10\.0\.0\.0\/8
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[internal_Logs172]
REGEX = dst\=172\.16\.0\.0\/12
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[internal_Logs192]
REGEX = dst=192\.168\.0\.0\/16
#REGEX = dst=192\.168\.5.*
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

 

it works perfectly for 192.168.5.* but not for subnet range.

kindly share or assist with configuration around the same.

I made a minor change to the answer above, but I can not reproduce the scenario you describe.

Splunk will not perform CIDR matches against regular expressions.

You will need to construct your regex to match the range of addresses you need

 

(10\.)
(172\.1[6-9]\.)|(172\.2[0-9]\.)|(172\.3[0-1]\.)
(192\.168\.)

 

But you should be able to do this in one stanza if you wish

 

[internal_IPs]
REGEX = dst\=((?:10\.)|(?:172\.1[6-9]\.)|(?:172\.2[0-9]\.)|(?:172\.3[0-1]\.)|(?:192\.168\.)).+
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue
