Add network direction

edit

The add_network_direction processor attempts to compute the perimeter-based network direction when given a source and destination IP address and a list of internal networks.

Example

edit
  - add_network_direction:
      source: source.ip
      destination: destination.ip
      target: network.direction
      internal_networks: [ private ]

Configuration settings

edit

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?
