#================================ Processors ===================================
# Processors are used to reduce the number of fields in the exported event or to
# enhance the event with external metadata. This section defines a list of
# processors that are applied one by one and the first one receives the initial
# event:
#
# event -> filter1 -> event1 -> filter2 ->event2 ...
#
# The supported processors are drop_fields, drop_event, include_fields,
# decode_json_fields, and add_cloud_metadata.
#
# For example, you can use the following processors to keep the fields that
# contain CPU load percentages, but remove the fields that contain CPU ticks
# values:
#
#processors:
#- include_fields:
# fields: ["cpu"]
#- drop_fields:
# fields: ["cpu.user", "cpu.system"]
#
# The following example drops the events that have the HTTP response code 200:
#
#processors:
#- drop_event:
# when:
# equals:
# http.code: 200
#
# The following example renames the field a to b:
#
#processors:
#- rename:
# fields:
# - from: "a"
# to: "b"
#
# The following example tokenizes the string into fields:
#
#processors:
#- dissect:
# tokenizer: "%{key1} - %{key2}"
# field: "message"
# target_prefix: "dissect"
#
# The following example enriches each event with metadata from the cloud
# provider about the host machine. It works on EC2, GCE, DigitalOcean,
# Tencent Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
#
#processors:
#- add_cloud_metadata: ~
#
# The following example enriches each event with the machine's local time zone
# offset from UTC.
#
#processors:
#- add_locale:
# format: offset
#
# The following example enriches each event with docker metadata, it matches
# given fields to an existing container id and adds info from that container:
#
#processors:
#- add_docker_metadata:
# host: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
# match_fields: ["system.process.cgroup.id"]
# match_pids: ["process.pid", "process.ppid"]
# match_source: true
# match_source_index: 4
# match_short_id: false
# cleanup_timeout: 60
# labels.dedot: false
# # To connect to Docker over TLS you must specify a client and CA certificate.
# #ssl:
# # certificate_authority: "/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"
# # certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
# # key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
#
# The following example enriches each event with docker metadata, it matches
# container id from log path available in `source` field (by default it expects
# it to be /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*.log).
#
#processors:
#- add_docker_metadata: ~
#
# The following example enriches each event with host metadata.
#
#processors:
#- add_host_metadata:
# netinfo.enabled: false
#
# The following example enriches each event with process metadata using
# process IDs included in the event.
#
#processors:
#- add_process_metadata:
# match_pids: ["system.process.ppid"]
# target: system.process.parent
#
# The following example decodes fields containing JSON strings
# and replaces the strings with valid JSON objects.
#
#processors:
#- decode_json_fields:
# fields: ["field1", "field2", ...]
# process_array: false
# max_depth: 1
# target: ""
# overwrite_keys: false
#
#processors:
#- decompress_gzip_field:
# from: "field1"
# to: "field2"
# ignore_missing: false
# fail_on_error: true
#
# The following example copies the value of message to message_copied
#
#processors:
#- copy_fields:
# fields:
# - from: message
# to: message_copied
# fail_on_error: true
# ignore_missing: false
#
# The following example truncates the value of message to 1024 bytes
#
#processors:
#- truncate_fields:
# fields:
# - message
# max_bytes: 1024
# fail_on_error: false
# ignore_missing: true
#
# The following example preserves the raw message under event.original
#
#processors:
#- copy_fields:
# fields:
# - from: message
# to: event.original
# fail_on_error: false
# ignore_missing: true
#- truncate_fields:
# fields:
# - event.original
# max_bytes: 1024
