SPL on configuration files

[jadengoho]

Hi , 

I would like to know if we can use SPL commands on configuration files to filter incoming data ?

Cause using Regex is out of option.

This is eval, could i really use to filter the events before index time without using regex?

This works 🙂
Using eval to input a index time field and identify which will be ingested or not.
