checksum
editchecksum
editThis is a community-maintained plugin!
This filter let’s you create a checksum based on various parts of the logstash event. This can be useful for deduplication of messages or simply to provide a custom unique identifier.
This is VERY experimental and is largely a proof-of-concept

Details

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 { checksum { add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" } } } [source,ruby] # You can also add multiple fields at once: filter { checksum { 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 { checksum { add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also add multiple tags at once: filter { checksum { 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).
algorithm
edit-
Value can be any of:
md5
,sha
,sha1
,sha256
,sha384
-
Default value is
"sha256"
keys
edit- Value type is array
-
Default value is
["message", "@timestamp", "type"]
A list of keys to use in creating the string to checksum Keys will be sorted before building the string keys and values will then be concatenated with pipe delimeters and checksummed
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 { checksum { remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also remove multiple fields at once: filter { checksum { 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 { checksum { remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ] } } [source,ruby] # You can also remove multiple tags at once: filter { checksum { 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.
