hi, i have several universal forwarders deployed, and im getting lots of events i want to filter out. I understand from reading answers here i need to do this on the indexer (or else install heavy forwaders on my endpoints, which i dont want to do). This is a raw entry that im trying to drop / filter out from my indexer (ie to keep it from using up lots of my license): 02/13/2020 10:19:09.016 event_status="(0)The operation completed successfully." pid=1216 process_image="c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe" registry_type="CreateKey" key_path="HKLM\system\controlset001\services\tcpip\parameters" data_type="REG_NONE" data="" This is the entry from the inputs.conf on the forwarders that is sending some of the events i want to filter out: [WinRegMon://default] disabled = 0 hive = .* proc = .* type = rename|set|delete|create And i have added these lines on my indexer (and restarted), but im still seeing the events come in: #on props.conf ( located in: C:\Program #Files\Splunk\etc\users\admin\search\local\props.conf): [WinRegMon://default] TRANSFORMS-set= setnull #on transforms.conf ( located in: C:\Program #Files\Splunk\etc\users\admin\search\local\transforms.conf): [setnull] REGEX = process_image=.+vmtoolsd.exe" DEST_KEY = queue FORMAT = nullQueue Thanks!
