You can <<defining-processors,define processors>> in your configuration to
|
|
process events before they are sent to the configured output. The libbeat
|
|
library provides processors for:
|
|
|
|
* reducing the number of exported fields
|
|
* enhancing events with additional metadata
|
|
* performing additional processing and decoding
|
|
|
|
Each processor receives an event, applies a defined action to the event, and
|
|
returns the event. If you define a list of processors, they are executed in the
|
|
order they are defined in the {beatname_uc} configuration file.
