key_value

key_value

You can use the key_value processor to parse the specified field into key-value pairs. You can customize the key_value processor to parse field information with the following options. The type for each of the following options is string.

Option	Description	Example
source	The message field to be parsed. Optional. Default value is `message`.	If `source` is `“message1”`, `{“message1”: {“key1=value1”}, “message2”: {“key2=value2”}}` parses into `{“message1”: {“key1=value1”}, “message2”: {“key2=value2”}, “parsed_message”: {“key1”: “value1”}}`.
destination	The destination field for the parsed source. The parsed source overwrites the preexisting data for that key. Optional. Default value is `parsed_message`.	If `destination` is `“parsed_data”`, `{“message”: {“key1=value1”}}` parses into `{“message”: {“key1=value1”}, “parsed_data”: {“key1”: “value1”}}`.
field_delimiter_regex	A regular expression specifying the delimiter that separates key-value pairs. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. Cannot be defined at the same time as `field_split_characters`. Optional. If this option is not defined, `field_split_characters` is used.	If `field_delimiter_regex` is `“&\{2\}”`, `{“key1=value1&&key2=value2”}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”, “key2”: “value2”}`.
field_split_characters	A string of characters specifying the delimeter that separates key-value pairs. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. Cannot be defined at the same time as `field_delimiter_regex`. Optional. Default value is `&`.	If `field_split_characters` is `“&&”`, `{“key1=value1&&key2=value2”}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”, “key2”: “value2”}`.
key_value_delimiter_regex	A regular expression specifying the delimiter that separates the key and value within a key-value pair. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. This option cannot be defined at the same time as `value_split_characters`. Optional. If this option is not defined, `value_split_characters` is used.	If `key_value_delimiter_regex` is `“=\{2\}”`, `{“key1==value1”}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”}`.
value_split_characters	A string of characters specifying the delimiter that separates the key and value within a key-value pair. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. Cannot be defined at the same time as `key_value_delimiter_regex`. Optional. Default value is `=`.	If `value_split_characters` is `“==”`, `{“key1==value1”}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”}`.
non_match_value	When a key-value pair cannot be successfully split, the key-value pair is placed in the `key` field, and the specified value is placed in the `value` field. Optional. Default value is `null`.	`key1value1&key2=value2` parses into `{“key1value1”: null, “key2”: “value2”}`.
prefix	A prefix to append before all keys. Optional. Default value is an empty string.	If `prefix` is `“custom”`, `{“key1=value1”}` parses into `{“customkey1”: “value1”}`.
delete_key_regex	A regular expression specifying the characters to delete from the key. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. Cannot be an empty string. Optional. No default value.	If `delete_key_regex` is `“\s”`, `{“key1 =value1”}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”}`.
delete_value_regex	A regular expression specifying the characters to delete from the value. Special regular expression characters such as `[` and `]` must be escaped with `\`. Cannot be an empty string. Optional. No default value.	If `delete_value_regex` is `“\s”`, `{“key1=value1 “}` parses into `{“key1”: “value1”}`.
