URL Decodeedit

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

Exampleedit

In this example, field1 is decoded in field2.

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

Configuration settingsedit

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.
