Drop fields from eventsedit
The drop_fields processor specifies which fields to drop if a certain
condition is fulfilled. The condition is optional. If it’s missing, the
specified fields are always dropped. The @timestamp and type fields cannot
be dropped, even if they show up in the drop_fields list.
Exampleedit
- drop_fields:
when:
condition
fields: ["field1", "field2", ...]
ignore_missing: false
If you define an empty list of fields under drop_fields, no fields
are dropped.
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?
