Add network direction

The add_network_direction processor attempts to compute the perimeter-based network direction when given a source and destination IP address and a list of internal networks.

Example

- add_network_direction:
    source: source.ip
    destination: destination.ip
    target: network.direction
    internal_networks: [ private ]

Configuration settings

Note

Elastic Agent processors execute before ingest pipelines, which means that they process the raw event data rather than the final event sent to Elasticsearch. For related limitations, refer to What are some limitations of using processors?

destination Yes Destination IP.
target Yes Target field where the network direction will be written.
