Add network direction
editAdd network direction
editThe 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
edit- add_network_direction: source: source.ip destination: destination.ip target: network.direction internal_networks: [ private ]
Configuration settings
editElastic 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?
