Parse data using ingest pipelines
editThe APM integration loads default ingest node pipelines into Elasticsearch. These pipelines preprocess and enrich APM documents before indexing them. For example, a pipeline might define one processor that removes a field, and another that renames a field.
Pipelines can be used to ensure data security by removing or obfuscating sensitive information. See data security for an example.
