If you need to change the data before it is indexed, then you can use something similar to the following in your props.conf file:

[your-source-type]
SEDCMD-anonemail = s/(No\.\s*\[)[^\]+/\1#####@#####/

If your data actually differs some from your example data, you may have to adjust, but this regex will result in an obfuscated email address inside the square brackets.

Hi @premranjithj,

Please use regex with sed mode | rex mode=sed "s/(.*)\[(.*)\]/\1[#####]/g"

Based on sample data I have created below query (First 3 lines are used to generate dummy data)

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="The service with id No.[sana.hello@fajfa.com] is not found in hdaher"
| append [ | makeresults | eval _raw="The service with id No.[eddadat@wifiad.net.au] is not found in headder"]
| rex mode=sed "s/(.*)\[(.*)\]/\1[#####]/g"

which is giving below output

The service with id No.[#####] is not found in hdaher
The service with id No.[#####] is not found in headder

EDIT: If you don't want to mask email ID and you want to remove it totally then use regex | rex mode=sed "s/(.*)\[(.*)\]/\1/g"

Sample query:

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="The service with id No.[sana.hello@fajfa.com] is not found in hdaher"
| append [ | makeresults | eval _raw="The service with id No.[eddadat@wifiad.net.au] is not found in headder"]
| rex mode=sed "s/(.*)\[(.*)\]/\1/g"

Which gives output as below

The service with id No. is not found in hdaher
The service with id No. is not found in headder

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Harshil
