delete_entries
The delete_entries
processor deletes entries, such as key-value pairs, from an event. You can define the keys you want to delete in the with-keys
field following delete_entries
in the YAML configuration file. Those keys and their values are deleted.
Configuration
You can configure the delete_entries
processor with the following options.
Option | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
with_keys | Yes | An array of keys for the entries to be deleted. |
Usage
To get started, create the following pipeline.yaml
file:
pipeline:
source:
...
....
processor:
- delete_entries:
with_keys: ["message"]
sink:
Next, create a log file named logs_json.log
and replace the path
in the file source of your pipeline.yaml
file with that filepath. For more information, see Configuring Data Prepper.
For example, before you run the delete_entries
processor, if the logs_json.log
file contains the following event record:
{"message": "hello", "message2": "goodbye"}
When you run the delete_entries
processor, it parses the message into the following output:
{"message2": "goodbye"}
If
message
does not exist in the event, then no action occurs.
