Filter and Enhance the exported data

edit

You can define processors in your configuration to process events before they are sent to the configured output. The libbeat library provides processors for:

  • reducing the number of exported fields
  • enhancing events with additional metadata
  • performing additional processing and decoding

Each processor receives an event, applies a defined action to the event, and returns the event. If you define a list of processors, they are executed in the order they are defined in the Heartbeat configuration file.

event -> processor 1 -> event1 -> processor 2 -> event2 ...
