Hello,

im trying to skip one line while indexing whole file.

This is the line im trying to skip.

Trace Opening D:/nlog-all-2020-09-04.log with allowFileSharedWriting=False

It changes time stamp as u can see in title of the file.

How can i achieve it easiest way please?

Still dont work. Maybe because that line starts with date + time? Is that possible?

All lines in that file starts with date + time but only the trace opening one is unwanted.

Hi
It's easier to help you, if you post real sample which whole line instead of tell partially what it contains.

now, I can't verify REGEX.please fix it.

I just recommend that try SEDCMD to delete extra line.

Hi @Glace , could you please advise whether this line is one event or its part of an event when you are trying to ingest the log file in Splunk?
