How to configure REGEX in a props.conf source stanza to match all sources except ones including "/splunk/"?

Hello,

We would like to match all sources except the ones including /splunk/ in props.conf.

Example: No match for /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/metrics.log and /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log

We tried several regex variations, but without luck...

Thanks,
Rainer

I suppose you could try this:
[source::(?!/opt/splunk/var/).../*]

You should have the stanza match the source, not have a regex in the props.conf stanza. So the stanza should be something like [source::/opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/*]

If you want to see more examples have a look at your btool output - $SPLUNK_HOME/splunk cmd btool props list | grep 'source::'

See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Propsconf and search the page for source:: for more details. If you're still having trouble post the relevant props and transforms stanzas here - you might have a different problem than the pattern matching

What are you trying to achieve here? Are you trying to do a field extraction OR event filter OR something else?

we would like to implement index routing for all events but internal Splunk logs.
