add_file_name

It adds a field containing the file name to the event. It is only applicable for input plugins k8s and file.

More details...

add_host

It adds field containing hostname to an event.

More details...

convert_date

It converts field date/time data to different format.

More details...

convert_log_level

It converts the log level field according RFC-5424.

More details...

convert_utf8_bytes

It converts multiple UTF-8-encoded bytes to corresponding characters. Supports unicode (\u... and \U...), hex (\x...) and octal (\{0-3}{0-7}{0-7}) encoded bytes.

Note: Escaped and unescaped backslashes are treated the same. For example, the following 2 values will be converted to the same result: \x68\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F and \\x68\\x65\\x6C\\x6C\\x6F => hello

Examples

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: convert_utf8_bytes
      fields:
        - obj.field
    ...

The original event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "\\xD0\\xA1\\xD0\\x98\\xD0\\xA1\\xD0\\xA2\\xD0\\x95\\xD0\\x9C\\xD0\\x90.xml"
  }
}

The resulting event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "СИСТЕМА.xml"
  }
}

The original event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "$\\110\\145\\154\\154\\157\\054\\040\\146\\151\\154\\145\\056\\144!"
  }
}

The resulting event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "$Hello, file.d!"
  }
}

The original event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "$\\u0048\\u0065\\u006C\\u006C\\u006F\\u002C\\u0020\\ud801\\udc01!"
  }
}

The resulting event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "$Hello, 𐐁!"
  }
}

The original event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "{\"Dir\":\"C:\\\\Users\\\\username\\\\.prog\\\\120.67.0\\\\x86_64\\\\x64\",\"File\":\"$Storage$\\xD0\\x9F\\xD1\\x80\\xD0\\xB8\\xD0\\xB7\\xD0\\xBD\\xD0\\xB0\\xD0\\xBA.20.tbl.xml\"}"
  }
}

The resulting event:

{
  "obj": {
    "field": "{\"Dir\":\"C:\\\\Users\\\\username\\\\.prog\\\\120.67.0\\\\x86_64\\\\x64\",\"File\":\"$Storage$Признак.20.tbl.xml\"}"
  }
}

More details...

debug

It logs event to stderr. Useful for debugging.

It may sample by logging the first N entries each tick. If more events are seen during the same interval, every thereafter message is logged and the rest are dropped.

For example,

- type: debug
  interval: 1s
  first: 10
  thereafter: 5

This will log the first 10 events in a one second interval as-is. Following that, it will allow through every 5th event in that interval.

More details...

decode

It decodes a string from the event field and merges the result with the event root.

If one of the decoded keys already exists in the event root, it will be overridden.

More details...

discard

It drops an event. It is used in a combination with match_fields/match_mode parameters to filter out the events.

An example for discarding informational and debug logs:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: discard
      match_fields:
        level: /info|debug/
    ...

More details...

flatten

It extracts the object keys and adds them into the root with some prefix. If the provided field isn't an object, an event will be skipped.

Example:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: flatten
      field: animal
      prefix: pet_
    ...

It transforms {"animal":{"type":"cat","paws":4}} into {"pet_type":"b","pet_paws":"4"}.

More details...

join

It makes one big event from the sequence of the events. It is useful for assembling back together "exceptions" or "panics" if they were written line by line. Also known as "multiline".

⚠ Parsing the whole event flow could be very CPU intensive because the plugin uses regular expressions. Consider match_fields parameter to process only particular events. Check out an example for details.

Example of joining Go panics:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: join
      field: log
      start: '/^(panic:)|(http: panic serving)/'
      continue: '/(^\s*$)|(goroutine [0-9]+ \[)|(\([0-9]+x[0-9,a-f]+)|(\.go:[0-9]+ \+[0-9]x)|(\/.*\.go:[0-9]+)|(\(...\))|(main\.main\(\))|(created by .*\/.*\.)|(^\[signal)|(panic.+[0-9]x[0-9,a-f]+)|(panic:)/'
      match_fields:
        stream: stderr // apply only for events which was written to stderr to save CPU time
    ...

More details...

join_template

Alias to "join" plugin with predefined start and continue parameters.

⚠ Parsing the whole event flow could be very CPU intensive because the plugin uses regular expressions. Consider match_fields parameter to process only particular events. Check out an example for details.

Example of joining Go panics:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: join_template
      template: go_panic
      field: log
      match_fields:
        stream: stderr // apply only for events which was written to stderr to save CPU time
    ...

More details...

json_decode

It decodes a JSON string from the event field and merges the result with the event root. If the decoded JSON isn't an object, the event will be skipped.

More details...

json_encode

It replaces field with its JSON string representation.

Example:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: json_encode
      field: server
    ...

It transforms {"server":{"os":"linux","arch":"amd64"}} into {"server":"{\"os\":\"linux\",\"arch\":\"amd64\"}"}.

More details...

json_extract

It extracts a field from JSON-encoded event field and adds extracted field to the event root.

If extracted field already exists in the event root, it will be overridden.

More details...

keep_fields

It keeps the list of the event fields and removes others.

More details...

mask

Mask plugin matches event with regular expression and substitutions successfully matched symbols via asterix symbol. You could set regular expressions and submatch groups.

Example:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: mask
      metric_subsystem_name: "some_name"
      ignore_fields:
      - trace_id
      masks:
      - re: "\b(\d{1,4})\D?(\d{1,4})\D?(\d{1,4})\D?(\d{1,4})\b"
        groups: [1,2,3]
    ...

More details...

modify

It modifies the content for a field or add new field. It works only with strings. You can provide an unlimited number of config parameters. Each parameter handled as cfg.FieldSelector:cfg.Substitution. When _skip_empty is set to true, the field won't be modified/added in the case of field value is empty.

Note: When used to add new nested fields, each child field is added step by step, which can cause performance issues.

Example:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: modify
      my_object.field.subfield: value is ${another_object.value}.
    ...

The resulting event could look like:

{
  "my_object": {
    "field": {
      "subfield":"value is 666."
    }
  },
  "another_object": {
    "value": 666
  }

More details...

move

It moves fields to the target field in a certain mode.

In allow mode, the specified fields will be moved; in block mode, the unspecified fields will be moved.

Examples

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: move
      mode: allow
      target: other
      fields:
        - log.stream
        - zone
    ...

The original event:

{
  "service": "test",
  "log": {
    "level": "error",
    "message": "error occurred",
    "ts": "2023-10-30T13:35:33.638720813Z",
    "stream": "stderr"
  },
  "zone": "z501"
}

The resulting event:

{
  "service": "test",
  "log": {
    "level": "error",
    "message": "error occurred",
    "ts": "2023-10-30T13:35:33.638720813Z"
  },
  "other": {
    "stream": "stderr",
    "zone": "z501"
  }
}

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: move
      mode: block
      target: other
      fields:
        - log
    ...

The original event:

{
  "service": "test",
  "log": {
    "level": "error",
    "message": "error occurred",
    "ts": "2023-10-30T13:35:33.638720813Z",
    "stream": "stderr"
  },
  "zone": "z501",
  "other": {
    "user": "ivanivanov"
  }
}

The resulting event:

{
  "log": {
    "level": "error",
    "message": "error occurred",
    "ts": "2023-10-30T13:35:33.638720813Z"
  },
  "other": {
    "user": "ivanivanov",
    "service": "test",
    "zone": "z501"
  }
}

More details...

parse_es

It parses HTTP input using Elasticsearch /_bulk API format. It converts sources defining create/index actions to the events. Update/delete actions are ignored.

Check out the details in Elastic Bulk API.

More details...

parse_re2

It parses string from the event field using re2 expression with named subgroups and merges the result with the event root.

More details...

remove_fields

It removes the list of the event fields and keeps others. Nested fields supported: list subfield names separated with dot. Example:

fields: ["a.b.c"]

# event before processing
{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": 100,
      "d": "some"
    }
  }
}

# event after processing
{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "d": "some" # "c" removed
    }
  }
}

If field name contains dots use backslash for escaping. Example:

fields:
  - exception\.type

# event before processing
{
  "message": "Exception occurred",
  "exception.type": "SomeType"
}

# event after processing
{
  "message": "Exception occurred" # "exception.type" removed
}

More details...

rename

It renames the fields of the event. You can provide an unlimited number of config parameters. Each parameter handled as cfg.FieldSelector:string. When override is set to false, the field won't be renamed in the case of field name collision. Sequence of rename operations isn't guaranteed. Use different actions for prioritization.

Example:

pipelines:
  example_pipeline:
    ...
    actions:
    - type: rename
      override: false
      my_object.field.subfield: new_sub_field
    ...

The resulting event could look like:

{
  "my_object": {
    "field": {
      "new_sub_field":"value"
    }
  },

More details...

set_time

It adds time field to the event.

More details...

split

It splits array of objects into different events.

For example:

{
	"data": [
		{ "message": "go" },
		{ "message": "rust" },
		{ "message": "c++" }
	]
}

Split produces:

{ "message": "go" },
{ "message": "rust" },
{ "message": "c++" }

Parent event will be discarded. If the value of the JSON field is not an array of objects, then the event will be pass unchanged.

More details...

throttle

It discards the events if pipeline throughput gets higher than a configured threshold.
