Filters

Use a filter to identify or discard logs.

You can use a filter to identify or discard logs or to protect sensitive data. As a result, filters can help reduce the agent’s resource load because of the reduced log ingestion. You can also use a filter to refine and transform collected logs before additional processing takes place.

Some input types offer additional filtering options that you can use to compliment the generic filters on this page. For example, when you create a Kubernetes input, you can add a filter in the input definition for a namespace or pod.
