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

# You can also add multiple fields at once:
filter {
  punct {
    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 {
  punct {
    add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
  }
}

# You can also add multiple tags at once:
filter {
  punct {
    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).

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

Call the filter flush method at regular interval. Optional.

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

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

# You can also remove multiple fields at once:
filter {
  punct {
    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 {
  punct {
    remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
  }
}

# You can also remove multiple tags at once:
filter {
  punct {
    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.

The field reference to use for punctuation stripping

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

The field to store the result.

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.
