Add tags

The add_tags processor adds tags to a list of tags. If the target field already exists, the tags are appended to the existing list of tags.

This configuration:

- add_tags:
    tags: [web, production]
    target: "environment"

Adds the environment field to every event:

{
  "environment": ["web", "production"]
}
Note

Elastic Agent processors execute before ingest pipelines, which means that they process the raw event data rather than the final event sent to Elasticsearch. For related limitations, refer to What are some limitations of using processors?

Name Required Default Description
tags Yes List of tags to add.
target No tags Field the tags will be added to. Setting tags in @metadata is not supported.
