Getting Data In

Filter events from UF based on source + sourcetype or host

Hello,

is it possible to filter events based on sourcetype + (host OR sourcetype) with props.conf/transforms.conf on indexers?

Filtering data only based on sourcetype or source could be too wide.

Thanks.

Hi @realsplunk,
to filter events you have to identify a large information (e.g. sourcetype or host or source), then you have to find a regex to filter logs related to the above information.
You cannot use two of the above infos (e.g. sourcetype+host)
E.g.: sourcetype=WinEventLog:Security and regex = EventCode=1234

in props.conf

[wineventlog:security]
TRANSFORMS-null= setnull

in transforms.conf

[setnull]
REGEX = EventCode\=1234
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

For more infos see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad

Ciao.
