Elasticsearch

If this filter is successful, add any arbitrary fields to this event. Field names can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field}.

Example:

filter {
  fingerprint {
    add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" }
  }
}

# You can also add multiple fields at once:
filter {
  fingerprint {
    add_field => {
      "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}"
      "new_field" => "new_static_value"
    }
  }
}

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would add field foo_hello if it is present, with the value above and the %{host} piece replaced with that value from the event. The second example would also add a hardcoded field.

If this filter is successful, add arbitrary tags to the event. Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} syntax.

Example:

filter {
  fingerprint {
    add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
  }
}

# You can also add multiple tags at once:
filter {
  fingerprint {
    add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "taggedy_tag"]
  }
}

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would add a tag foo_hello (and the second example would of course add a taggedy_tag tag).

When set to true, we concatenate the values of all fields into 1 string like the old checksum filter.

Only handle events without all/any (controlled by exclude_any config option) of these tags. Optional.

When used with IPV4_NETWORK method fill in the subnet prefix length Not required for MURMUR3 or UUID methods With other methods fill in the HMAC key

Fingerprint method

Call the filter flush method at regular interval. Optional.

If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary fields from this event. Example:

filter {
  fingerprint {
    remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
  }
}

# You can also remove multiple fields at once:
filter {
  fingerprint {
    remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "my_extraneous_field" ]
  }
}

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would remove the field with name foo_hello if it is present. The second example would remove an additional, non-dynamic field.

If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary tags from the event. Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} syntax.

Example:

filter {
  fingerprint {
    remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
  }
}

# You can also remove multiple tags at once:
filter {
  fingerprint {
    remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "sad_unwanted_tag"]
  }
}

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would remove the tag foo_hello if it is present. The second example would remove a sad, unwanted tag as well.

Source field(s)

Only handle events with all/any (controlled by include_any config option) of these tags. Optional.

Target field. will overwrite current value of a field if it exists.

Note that all of the specified routing options (type,tags,exclude_tags,include_fields, exclude_fields) must be met in order for the event to be handled by the filter. The type to act on. If a type is given, then this filter will only act on messages with the same type. See any input plugin’s "type" attribute for more. Optional.
