Modify

The Modify Filter plugin allows you to change records using rules and conditions.

Example usage

As an example using JSON notation to,
  • Rename Key2 to RenamedKey
  • Add a key OtherKey with value Value3 if OtherKey does not yet exist
Example (input)
{
"Key1" : "Value1",
"Key2" : "Value2"
}
Example (output)
{
"Key1" : "Value1",
"RenamedKey" : "Value2",
"OtherKey" : "Value3"
}

Configuration Parameters

Rules

The plugin supports the following rules:
Operation
Parameter 1
Parameter 2

Add a key/value pair with key KEY and value VALUE. If KEY already exists, this field is overwritten
Add
STRING:KEY
STRING:VALUE
Add a key/value pair with key KEY and value VALUE if KEY does not exist
Remove
STRING:KEY
NONE
Remove a key/value pair with key KEY if it exists
Remove_wildcard
WILDCARD:KEY
NONE
Remove all key/value pairs with key matching wildcard KEY
Remove_regex
REGEXP:KEY
NONE
Remove all key/value pairs with key matching regexp KEY
Rename
STRING:KEY
STRING:RENAMED_KEY
Rename a key/value pair with key KEY to RENAMED_KEY if KEY exists AND RENAMED_KEY does not exist
Hard_rename
STRING:KEY
STRING:RENAMED_KEY

Hard_copy
STRING:KEY
STRING:COPIED_KEY
Copy a key/value pair with key KEY to COPIED_KEY if KEY exists. If COPIED_KEY already exists, this field is overwritten
  • Rules are case insensitive, parameters are not
  • Any number of rules can be set in a filter instance.
  • Rules are applied in the order they appear, with each rule operating on the result of the previous rule.

Conditions

The plugin supports the following conditions:
Condition
Parameter
Parameter 2
Description
Key_exists
STRING:KEY
NONE
Is true if KEY exists
Key_does_not_exist

STRING:VALUE
Is true if KEY does not exist
A_key_matches
REGEXP:KEY
NONE
Is true if a key matches regex KEY
No_key_matches
REGEXP:KEY
NONE
Is true if no key matches regex KEY
Key_value_equals
STRING:KEY
STRING:VALUE
Is true if KEY exists and its value is VALUE
Key_value_does_not_equal

Key_value_matches
STRING:KEY
REGEXP:VALUE
Is true if key KEY exists and its value matches VALUE
Key_value_does_not_match

REGEXP:VALUE
Is true if all keys matching KEY have values that match VALUE

REGEXP:KEY
REGEXP:VALUE
Is true if all keys matching KEY have values that do not match VALUE
  • Conditions are case insensitive, parameters are not
  • Any number of conditions can be set.
  • Conditions apply to the whole filter instance and all its rules. Not to individual rules.
  • All conditions have to be true for the rules to be applied.

Example #1 - Add and Rename

In order to start filtering records, you can run the filter from the command line or through the configuration file. The following invokes the Memory Usage Input Plugin, which outputs the following (example),
[0] memory: [1488543156, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841388, "Mem.free"=>174656, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[1] memory: [1488543157, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[2] memory: [1488543158, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]
[3] memory: [1488543159, {"Mem.total"=>1016044, "Mem.used"=>841420, "Mem.free"=>174624, "Swap.total"=>2064380, "Swap.used"=>139888, "Swap.free"=>1924492}]

Using command Line

Note: Using the command line mode requires quotes parse the wildcard properly. The use of a configuration file is recommended.
bin/fluent-bit -i mem \
-p 'tag=mem.local' \
-F modify \
-p 'Add=Service1 SOMEVALUE' \
-p 'Add=Service2 SOMEVALUE3' \
-p 'Add=Mem.total2 TOTALMEM2' \
-p 'Rename=Mem.free MEMFREE' \
-p 'Rename=Mem.used MEMUSED' \
-p 'Rename=Swap.total SWAPTOTAL' \
-p 'Add=Mem.total TOTALMEM' \
-m '*' \
-o stdout

Configuration File

[INPUT]
Name mem
Tag mem.local
[OUTPUT]
Name stdout
Match *
[FILTER]
Name modify
Match *
Add Service1 SOMEVALUE
Add Service3 SOMEVALUE3
Add Mem.total2 TOTALMEM2
Rename Mem.free MEMFREE
Rename Mem.used MEMUSED
Rename Swap.total SWAPTOTAL
Add Mem.total TOTALMEM

Result

The output of both the command line and configuration invocations should be identical and result in the following output.
