I am confused about this too. I see people posting about using "crcSalt =" ... but based on the docs, that would seem to be specifying a null value for the salt ... which is what the default is. So, what is it that "crcSalt =" is supposed to accomplish? I.e., if you are using "crcSalt =" and it is working for you, exactly what is it doing for you that omitting "crcSalt =" (leaving it to default value) doesn't do for you?
One of the reasons I'm curious is that we've noticed that a crcSalt value of SOURCE (text editor won't let me add the angle brackets) can consume substantially more compute resources such that, for high volume sources, it can significantly delay forwarding of events. So we're exploring ways to use crcSalt in ways that are less compute-intensive. I was wondering if "crcSalt =" is such a way... but I'm not seeing how it does anything other than make explicit the default NULL value.
