URL Decode

The urldecode processor specifies a list of fields to decode from URL encoded format.

Example

In this example, field1 is decoded in field2.

- urldecode:
    fields:
      - 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
fields Yes Contains:

* from: "source-field", where from is the source field name
* to: "target-field", where to is the target field name (defaults to the from value)
ignore_missing No false Whether to ignore missing keys. If true, no error is logged if a key that should be URL-decoded is missing.
fail_on_error No true Whether to fail if an error occurs. If true and an error occurs, the URL-decoding of fields is stopped, and the original event is returned. If false, decoding continues even if an error occurs during decoding.
