Add tagsedit

The add_tags processor adds tags to a list of tags. If the target field already exists, the tags are appended to the existing list of tags.

Exampleedit

This configuration:

  - add_tags:
      tags: [web, production]
      target: "environment"

Adds the environment field to every event:

{
  "environment": ["web", "production"]
}

Configuration settingsedit

Elastic Agent processors execute before ingest pipelines, which means that they process the raw event data rather than the final event sent to Elasticsearch. For related limitations, refer to What are some limitations of using processors?
