clone

This is a community-maintained plugin!

The clone filter is for duplicating events. A clone will be made for each type in the clone list. The original event is left unchanged.

Synopsis

edit

This plugin supports the following configuration options:

Required configuration options:

clone {
}

Available configuration options:

Setting	Input type	Required	Default value
`add_field`	hash	No	`{}`
`add_tag`	array	No	`[]`
`clones`	array	No	`[]`
`periodic_flush`	boolean	No	`false`
`remove_field`	array	No	`[]`
`remove_tag`	array	No	`[]`

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 {
      clone {
        add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" }
      }
    }

    # You can also add multiple fields at once:
    filter {
      clone {
        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 {
      clone {
        add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also add multiple tags at once:
    filter {
      clone {
        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).

`clones`

edit

Value type is array
Default value is []

A new clone will be created with the given type for each type in this list.

`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 {
      clone {
        remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also remove multiple fields at once:
    filter {
      clone {
        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 {
      clone {
        remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also remove multiple tags at once:
    filter {
      clone {
        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.
