Splunk Search

Skip lines while indexing

I am currently experimenting with the nmap scan output format and indexing the scan results with splunk.

I noticed that I got a lot of lines containing "Nmap scan report for 57.57.223.255 [host down]" which means that the line does not contain any useful information for me. I would like to skip all lines containing "host down".

Is there a hack to achieve this?
