Decompress gzip fields

The decompress_gzip_field processor specifies a field to gzip decompress.

To overwrite fields, either first rename the target field, or use the drop_fields processor to drop the field, and then decompress the field.

Example

In this example, field1 is decompressed in field2.

- decompress_gzip_field:
    field:
      from: "field1"
      to: "field2"
    ignore_missing: false
    fail_on_error: true

Configuration settings

Note

Elastic Agent processors execute before ingest pipelines, which means that your processor configurations cannot refer to fields that are created by ingest pipelines or Logstash. For more limitations, refer to What are some limitations of using processors?

Name Required Default Description
field Yes Contains:

* from: "old-key", where from is the origin
* to: "new-key", where to is the target field name
ignore_missing No false Whether to ignore missing keys. If true, no error is logged if a key that should be decompressed is missing.
fail_on_error No true If true and an error occurs, decompression of fields is stopped, and the original event is returned. If false, decompression continues even if an error occurs during decoding.
