Config to remove the default "source" field

[s-m-p]

Hello and please forgive me if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question. I would like to know if it's possible to add configuration to the daemon.json file to completely remove the value of the 'source' field from the event because I would like to let Splunk automatically set the source at index time. Reading the documentation, I see there is an optional flag 'splunk-source' where I can change the value. But I don't want to change the value, I would like to completely remove it from the POST body. Is there way to do this in the configuration file? It seems all the doc examples show a value for that field.

Here's what our current Splunk config looks like. I'm not the app developer here, so this information was provided to me when I requested the configuration. All the variables are defined and the event is being indexed as I would expect. I just want to remove the source field from the POST body. "logConfiguration": { "logDriver": "splunk", "options": { "splunk-url": "${splunk_url}", "splunk-index": "${splunk_index}", "splunk-insecureskipverify": "true", "splunk-sourcetype": "${splunk_sourcetype}", "splunk-format": "json" },

Thanks in advance.
