==== Common options

The following configuration options are supported by all inputs.

[float]
===== `enabled`

Use the `enabled` option to enable and disable inputs. By default, enabled is
set to true.

[float]
===== `tags`

A list of tags that {beatname_uc} includes in the `tags` field of each published
event. Tags make it easy to select specific events in Kibana or apply
conditional filtering in Logstash. These tags will be appended to the list of
tags specified in the general configuration.

Example:

["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
-----
{beatname_lc}.inputs:
- type: {type}
  . . .
  tags: ["json"]
-----


[float]
[id="{beatname_lc}-input-{type}-fields"]
===== `fields`

Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
output. For example, you might add fields that you can use for filtering log
data. Fields can be scalar values, arrays, dictionaries, or any nested
combination of these. By default, the fields that you specify here will be
grouped under a `fields` sub-dictionary in the output document. To store the
custom fields as top-level fields, set the `fields_under_root` option to true.
If a duplicate field is declared in the general configuration, then its value
will be overwritten by the value declared here.

["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
-----
{beatname_lc}.inputs:
- type: {type}
  . . .
  fields:
    app_id: query_engine_12
-----

[float]
[id="fields-under-root-{type}"]
===== `fields_under_root`

If this option is set to true, the custom
<<{beatname_lc}-input-{type}-fields,fields>> are stored as top-level fields in
the output document instead of being grouped under a `fields` sub-dictionary. If
the custom field names conflict with other field names added by {beatname_uc},
then the custom fields overwrite the other fields. 

[float]
===== `processors`

A list of processors to apply to the input data.

See <<filtering-and-enhancing-data>> for information about specifying
processors in your config.

[float]
===== `pipeline`

The Ingest Node pipeline ID to set for the events generated by this input.

NOTE: The pipeline ID can also be configured in the Elasticsearch output, but
this option usually results in simpler configuration files. If the pipeline is
configured both in the input and output, the option from the
input is used.
