condition

required string remap_boolean_expression
The condition to be matched against every input event. Only messages that pass the condition will be forwarded.
Examples 
".status_code != 200 \u0026\u0026 !includes([\"info\", \"debug\"], .severity)"

inputs

required [string]

A list of upstream source or transform IDs. Wildcards (*) are supported.

See configuration for more info.

Array string literal
Examples 
[
 "my-source-or-transform-id",

Examples

Drop debug logs

Given this event...
[{"log":{"level":"debug","message":"I'm a noisy debug log"}},{"log":{"level":"info","message":"I'm a normal info log"}}]
...and this configuration...
[transforms.my_transform_id]
type = "filter"
inputs = [ "my-source-or-transform-id" ]
condition = '.level == "debug"'

---
transforms:
  my_transform_id:
    type: filter
    inputs:
      - my-source-or-transform-id
    condition: .level == "debug"

{
  "transforms": {
    "my_transform_id": {
      "type": "filter",
      "inputs": [
        "my-source-or-transform-id"
      ],
      "condition": ".level == \"debug\""
    }
  }
}
...this Vector event is produced:
[{"log":{"level":"info","message":"I'm a normal info log"}}]

How it works

State

This component is stateless, meaning its behavior is consistent across each input.
