Enrichment Functions
find_enrichment_table_records
Searches an enrichment table for rows that match the
provided condition.
For file enrichment tables, this condition needs to be a DPL object in which
the key-value pairs indicate a field to search mapped to a value to search in that field.
This function returns the rows that match the provided condition(s). All fields need to
match for rows to be returned; if any fields do not match, then no rows are returned.
There are currently two forms of search criteria:
Exact match search. The given field must match the value exactly. Case sensitivity
can be specified using the case_sensitive argument. An exact match search can use an
index directly into the dataset, which should make this search fairly “cheap” from a
performance perspective.
Date range search. The given field must be greater than or equal to the from date
and less than or equal to the to date. A date range search involves
sequentially scanning through the rows that have been located using any exact match
criteria. This can be an expensive operation if there are many rows returned by any exact
match criteria. Therefore, use date ranges as the only criteria when the enrichment
data set is very small.
For geoip and mmdb enrichment tables, this condition needs to be a DPL object with a single key-value pair
whose value needs to be a valid IP address. Example: {"ip": .ip }. If a return field is expected
and without a value, null is used. This table can return the following fields:
To use this function, you need to update your configuration to
include an
enrichment_tables
parameter.
The enrichment table to search.
The condition to search on. Since the condition is used at boot time to create
indices into the data, these conditions must be statically defined.
A subset of fields from the enrichment table to return. If not specified,
all fields are returned.
Whether text fields need to match cases exactly.
Examples
Exact match
Source:
find_enrichment_table_records!("test",
{
"surname": "smith",
},
case_sensitive: false)
Return:
[{"id":1,"firstname":"Bob","surname":"Smith"},{"id":2,"firstname":"Fred","surname":"Smith"}]

})
Return:
[{"id":1,"firstname":"Bob","surname":"Smith"},{"id":2,"firstname":"Fred","surname":"Smith"}]
get_enrichment_table_record
Searches an enrichment table for a row that matches the
provided condition. A single row must be matched. If no rows are found or more than one row is
found, an error is returned.
For file enrichment tables, this condition needs to be a DPL object in which
the key-value pairs indicate a field to search mapped to a value to search in that field.
This function returns the rows that match the provided condition(s). All fields need to

This function currently does not support recursive iteration.
The function uses the function closure syntax to allow reading
the key-value or index-value combination for each item in the
collection.
The same scoping rules apply to closure blocks as they do for
regular blocks. This means that any variable defined in parent scopes
is accessible, and mutations to those variables are preserved,
but any new variables instantiated in the closure block are
unavailable outside of the block.
See the examples below to learn about the closure syntax.
The array or object to filter.

This function currently does not support recursive iteration.
The function uses the “function closure syntax” to allow reading
the key/value or index/value combination for each item in the
collection.

but any new variables instantiated in the closure block are
unavailable outside of the block.
See the examples below to learn about the closure syntax.
The array or object to iterate.
Examples

Source:
tally = {}
for_each(array!(.tags)) -> |_index, value| {
# Get the current tally for the `value`, or
# set to `0`.

# Increment the tally for the value by `1`.
tally = set!(tally, [value], count + 1)
}

Return:
map_keys
Map the keys within an object.
If recursive is enabled, the function iterates into nested
objects, using the following rules:
- Iteration starts at the root.
- For every nested object type:
- First return the key of the object type itself.
- Then recurse into the object, and loop back to item (1)
in this list.
- Any mutation done on a nested object before recursing into
it, are preserved.
- For every nested array type:
- First return the key of the array type itself.
- Then find all objects within the array, and apply item (2)
to each individual object.
The above rules mean that map_keys with
recursive enabled finds all keys in the target,
regardless of whether nested objects are nested inside arrays.
The function uses the function closure syntax to allow reading
the key for each item in the object.
The same scoping rules apply to closure blocks as they do for
regular blocks. This means that any variable defined in parent scopes
is accessible, and mutations to those variables are preserved,
but any new variables instantiated in the closure block are
unavailable outside of the block.
See the examples below to learn about the closure syntax.
Whether to recursively iterate the collection.
Examples

Return:
{"labels":{"app_kubernetes_io/name":"mysql"}}
map_values
Map the values within a collection.
If recursive is enabled, the function iterates into nested
collections, using the following rules:
- Iteration starts at the root.
- For every nested collection type:
- First return the collection type itself.
- Then recurse into the collection, and loop back to item (1)
in the list
- Any mutation done on a collection before recursing into it,
are preserved.
The function uses the function closure syntax to allow mutating
the value for each item in the collection.
The same scoping rules apply to closure blocks as they do for
regular blocks, meaning, any variable defined in parent scopes
are accessible, and mutations to those variables are preserved,
but any new variables instantiated in the closure block are
unavailable outside of the block.
Check out the examples below to learn about the closure syntax.

Path Functions
del
Removes the field specified by the static path from the target.
For dynamic path deletion, see the remove function.
The path of the field to delete.
After deletion, if compact is true and there is an empty object or array left,
the empty object or array is also removed, cascading up to the root. This only
applies to the path being deleted, and any parent paths.
Examples
Delete a field
Source:
Rename a field
Source:
.new_field = del(.old_field)
exists
Checks whether the path exists for the target.
This function distinguishes between a missing path
and a path with a null value. A regular path lookup,
such as .foo, cannot distinguish between the two cases
since it always returns null if the path doesn’t exist.
The path of the field to check.
Examples
Exists (field)
Source:
Return:
Exists (array element)
Source:
Return:
get
Dynamically get the value of a given path.
If you know the path you want to look up, use
static paths such as .foo.bar[1] to get the value of that
path. However, if you do not know the path names,
use the dynamic get function to get the requested
value.
The object or array to query.
An array of path segments to look for the value.
Errors
- The
path segment must be a string or an integer.
Examples
single-segment top-level field
Source:
get!(value: { "foo": "bar" }, path: ["foo"])
Return:
multi-segment nested field

get!(value: { "foo": { "bar": "baz" } }, path: ["foo", "bar"])
Return:
array indexing
Source:
get!(value: ["foo", "bar", "baz"], path: [-2])
Return:
remove
Dynamically remove the value for a given path.
If you know the path you want to remove, use
the del function and static paths such as del(.foo.bar[1])
to remove the value at that path. The del function returns the
deleted value, and is more performant than remove.
However, if you do not know the path names, use the dynamic
remove function to remove the value at the provided path.
The object or array to remove data from.
An array of path segments to remove the value from.
After deletion, if compact is true, any empty objects or
arrays left are also removed.
Errors
- The
path segment must be a string or an integer.
Examples
single-segment top-level field
Source:
remove!(value: { "foo": "bar" }, path: ["foo"])
Return:
multi-segment nested field
Source:
remove!(value: { "foo": { "bar": "baz" } }, path: ["foo", "bar"])

Return:
compaction
Source:
remove!(value: { "foo": { "bar": [42], "baz": true } }, path: ["foo", "bar", 0], compact: true)
Return:
set
Dynamically insert data into the path of a given object or array.
If you know the path you want to assign a value to,
use static path assignments such as .foo.bar[1] = true for
improved performance and readability. However, if you do not
know the path names, use the dynamic set function to
insert the data into the object or array.
The object or array to insert data into.
An array of path segments to insert the value into.
Errors
- The
path segment must be a string or an integer.
Examples
single-segment top-level field
Source:
set!(value: { "foo": "bar" }, path: ["foo"], data: "baz")
Return:
multi-segment nested field
Source:
set!(value: { "foo": { "bar": "baz" } }, path: ["foo", "bar"], data: "qux")

This can help achieve compliance by ensuring sensitive data does not leave your network.
The value to redact sensitive data from.
The function’s behavior depends on value’s type:
- For strings, the sensitive data is redacted and a new string is returned.
- For arrays, the sensitive data is redacted in each string element.

For arrays and objects, the function recurses into any nested arrays or objects. Any non-string elements are
skipped.
Redacted text is replaced with [REDACTED].

Each filter can be specified in the following ways:
- As a regular expression, which is used to redact text that match it.
- As an object with a
type key that corresponds to a named filter and additional keys for customizing that filter. - As a named filter, if it has no required parameters.
Named filters can be a:
pattern: Redacts text matching any regular expressions specified in the patterns
key, which is required. This is the expanded version of just passing a regular expression as a filter.us_social_security_number: Redacts US social security card numbers.
See examples for more details.
This parameter must be a static expression so that the argument can be validated at compile-time
to avoid runtime errors. You cannot use variables or other dynamic expressions with it.
Specifies what to replace the redacted strings with.
It is given as an object with a “type” key specifying the type of redactor to use
and additional keys depending on the type. The following types are supported:
full: The default. Replace with the string “[REDACTED]”.text: Replace with a custom string. The replacement key is required, and must
contain the string that is used as a replacement.sha2: Hash the redacted text with SHA-2 as with sha2. Supports two optional parameters:variant: The variant of the algorithm to use. Defaults to SHA-512/256.encoding: How to encode the hash as text. Can be base16 or base64.
Defaults to base64.
sha3: Hash the redacted text with SHA-3 as with sha3. Supports two optional parameters:variant: The variant of the algorithm to use. Defaults to SHA3-512.encoding: How to encode the hash as text. Can be base16 or base64.
Defaults to base64.
As a convenience you can use a string as a shorthand for common redactor patterns:
"full" is equivalent to {"type": "full"}"sha2" is equivalent to {"type": "sha2", "variant": "SHA-512/256", "encoding": "base64"}"sha3" is equivalent to {"type": "sha3", "variant": "SHA3-512", "encoding": "base64"}
This parameter must be a static expression so that the argument can be validated at compile-time
to avoid runtime errors. You cannot use variables or other dynamic expressions with it.

- You will need to escape the
$ by using $$ to avoid Vector interpreting it as an
environment variable when loading configuration - If you want a literal
$ in the replacement pattern, you will also need to escape this
with $$. When combined with environment variable interpolation in config files this
means you will need to use $$$$ to have a literal $ in the replacement pattern.
Replace all matches of this pattern. Can be a static string or a regular expression.
The string that the matches are replaced with.
The maximum number of replacements to perform. -1 means replace all matches.
Examples
Replace literal text
Source:
replace("Apples and Bananas", "and", "not")
Return:
Replace using regular expression
Source:
replace("Apples and Bananas", r'(?i)bananas', "Pineapples")
Return:
Replace first instance
Source:
replace("Bananas and Bananas", "Bananas", "Pineapples", count: 1)
Return:
Replace with capture groups (Note: Use $$num in config files)
Source:
replace("foo123bar", r'foo(?P<num>\d+)bar', "$num")
Return:
replace_with
Replaces all matching instances of pattern using a closure.
The pattern argument accepts a regular expression that can use capture groups.
The function uses the function closure syntax to compute the replacement values.
The closure takes a single parameter, which is an array, where the first item is always
present and contains the entire string that matched pattern. The items from index one on
contain the capture groups of the corresponding index. If a capture group is optional, the
value may be null if it didn’t match.
The value returned by the closure must be a string and will replace the section of
the input that was matched.
This returns a new string with the replacements, the original string is not mutated.
Replace all matches of this pattern. Must be a regular expression.
The maximum number of replacements to perform. -1 means replace all matches.
Examples
Capitalize words
Source:
replace_with("apples and bananas", r'\b(\w)(\w*)') -> |match| {
upcase!(match.captures[0]) + string!(match.captures[1])
}

"email from adf6e1bc4415d24912bd93072ad34ef825a7b6eb3bf53f68def1fc17"
Replace first instance
Source:
replace_with("Apples and Apples", r'(?i)apples|cones', count: 1) -> |match| {
"Pine" + downcase(match.string)
}
Return:
Named capture group
Source:
