Details
edit
add_field
edit- Value type is hash
-
Default value is
{}
If this filter is successful, add any arbitrary fields to this event.
Field names can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field}
.
Example:
filter { fingerprint { add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" } } } [source,ruby] # You can also add multiple fields at once: filter { fingerprint { add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" "new_field" => "new_static_value" } } }
If the event has field "somefield" == "hello"
this filter, on success,
would add field foo_hello
if it is present, with the
value above and the %{host}
piece replaced with that value from the
event. The second example would also add a hardcoded field.
add_tag
edit- Value type is array
-
Default value is
[]
If this filter is successful, add arbitrary tags to the event.
Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field}
syntax.
Example:
filter { fingerprint { add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also add multiple tags at once: filter { fingerprint { add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "taggedy_tag"] } }
If the event has field "somefield" == "hello"
this filter, on success,
would add a tag foo_hello
(and the second example would of course add a taggedy_tag
tag).
concatenate_sources
edit- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
When set to true
, we concatenate the values of all fields into 1 string like the old checksum filter.
exclude_tags
(DEPRECATED)
edit- DEPRECATED WARNING: This configuration item is deprecated and may not be available in future versions.
- Value type is array
-
Default value is
[]
Only handle events without any of these tags. Optional.
key
edit- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
When used with IPV4_NETWORK
method fill in the subnet prefix length
Not required for MURMUR3
or UUID
methods
With other methods fill in the HMAC
key
method
edit- This is a required setting.
-
Value can be any of:
SHA1
,SHA256
,SHA384
,SHA512
,MD5
,MURMUR3
,IPV4_NETWORK
,UUID
,PUNCTUATION
-
Default value is
"SHA1"
Fingerprint method
periodic_flush
edit- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
Call the filter flush method at regular interval. Optional.
remove_field
edit- Value type is array
-
Default value is
[]
If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary fields from this event. Fields names can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} Example:
filter { fingerprint { remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also remove multiple fields at once: filter { fingerprint { remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "my_extraneous_field" ] } }
If the event has field "somefield" == "hello"
this filter, on success,
would remove the field with name foo_hello
if it is present. The second
example would remove an additional, non-dynamic field.
remove_tag
edit- Value type is array
-
Default value is
[]
If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary tags from the event.
Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field}
syntax.
Example:
filter { fingerprint { remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also remove multiple tags at once: filter { fingerprint { remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "sad_unwanted_tag"] } }
If the event has field "somefield" == "hello"
this filter, on success,
would remove the tag foo_hello
if it is present. The second example
would remove a sad, unwanted tag as well.
