IMPORTANT: This documentation is no longer updated. Refer to Elastic's version policy and the latest documentation.

URL Decode

edit

The urldecode processor specifies a list of fields to decode from URL encoded format.

Example

edit

In this example, field1 is decoded in field2.

  - urldecode:
      fields:
        - from: "field1"
          to: "field2"
      ignore_missing: false
      fail_on_error: true

Configuration settings

edit

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?

Name	Required	Default	Description
`fields`	Yes		Contains: `from: "source-field"`, where `from` is the source field name `to: "target-field"`, where `to` is the target field name (defaults to the `from` value)
`ignore_missing`	No	`false`	Whether to ignore missing keys. If `true`, no error is logged if a key that should be URL-decoded is missing.
`fail_on_error`	No	`true`	Whether to fail if an error occurs. If `true` and an error occurs, the URL-decoding of fields is stopped, and the original event is returned. If `false`, decoding continues even if an error occurs during decoding.

See Conditions for a list of supported conditions.
