Hi there,
Is there anyway on Splunk search peer or Forwarder to filter the data. Like log messages that contain DEBUG or INFO should be filtered before getting indexed in Splunk?

Depends on how you ingest docker logs, with the collectord you can annotate to drop some log lines, see https://www.outcoldsolutions.com/docs/monitoring-docker/v5/annotations/#example-2-dropping-messages
