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", ...]
See Conditions for a list of supported conditions.
If you define an empty list of fields under drop_fields, then no fields
are dropped.
