Use the status remapper processor to assign attributes as an official status to your events. For example, add an event severity level to your events with the status remapper.

Log severity after remapping

Each incoming status value is mapped as follows:

  • Integers from 0 to 7 map to the [Syslog severity standards][4]
  • Strings beginning with emerg or f (case-insensitive) map to emerg (0)
  • Strings beginning with a (case-insensitive) map to alert (1)
  • Strings beginning with c (case-insensitive) map to critical (2)
  • Strings beginning with e (case-insensitive)—that do not match emerg—map to error (3)
  • Strings beginning with w (case-insensitive) map to warning (4)
  • Strings beginning with n (case-insensitive) map to notice (5)
  • Strings beginning with i (case-insensitive) map to info (6)
  • Strings beginning with d, trace or verbose (case-insensitive) map to debug (7)
  • Strings beginning with o or s, or matching OK or Success (case-insensitive) map to OK
  • All others map to info (6)

Note: If multiple event status remapper processors are applied to a given event within the pipeline, only the first one (according to the pipeline’s order) is taken into account.
