Drop fields from events
editDrop fields from events
editThe drop_fields
processor specifies which fields to drop if a certain
condition is fulfilled. The condition is optional. If it’s missing, the
specified fields are always dropped. The @timestamp
and type
fields cannot
be dropped, even if they show up in the drop_fields
list.
processors: - drop_fields: when: condition fields: ["field1", "field2", ...] ignore_missing: false
See Conditions for a list of supported conditions.
If you define an empty list of fields under drop_fields
, then no fields
are dropped.
The drop_fields
processor has the following configuration settings:
-
fields
- If non-empty, a list of matching field names will be removed. Any element in array can contain a regular expression delimited by two slashes (/reg_exp/), in order to match (name) and remove more than one field.
-
ignore_missing
-
(Optional) If
true
the processor will not return an error when a specified field does not exist. Defaults tofalse
