Registered Domain

The registered_domain processor reads a field containing a hostname and then writes the "registered domain" contained in the hostname to the target field. For example, given www.google.co.uk, the processor would output google.co.uk. In other words, the "registered domain" is the effective top-level domain (co.uk) plus one level (google). Optionally, the processor can store the rest of the domain, the subdomain, into another target field.

This processor uses the Mozilla Public Suffix list to determine the value.

Example

		- registered_domain:
    field: dns.question.name
    target_field: dns.question.registered_domain
    target_etld_field: dns.question.top_level_domain
    target_subdomain_field: dns.question.sudomain
    ignore_missing: true
    ignore_failure: true

	

Configuration settings

Note

Elastic Agent processors execute before ingest pipelines, which means that your processor configurations cannot refer to fields that are created by ingest pipelines or Logstash. For more limitations, refer to What are some limitations of using processors?
