Setting Input type Required
target string No
  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.
  • The option is only relevant while decoding.

Define the target field for placing the decoded fields. If this setting is not set, data will be stored at the root (top level) of the event.

For example, if you want data to be put under the document field:

Text 
input {
  tcp {
    port => 4242
    codec => edn_lines {
      target => "[document]"
    }
  }
}
