send_partial¶

Controls whether mmdarwin calls Darwin when some fields are missing from the message.

This parameter applies to Darwin connector (mmdarwin).

Name:: send_partial
Scope:: input
Type:: boolean
Default:: input=off
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 8.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

Controls whether to send data to Darwin if not all :json:`"fields"` could be found in the message. Darwin filters typically require a strict set of parameters and may not process incomplete data, so leaving this setting at :json:`"off"` is recommended unless you have verified the filter accepts missing fields.

For example, for the following log line:

{
    "from": "192.168.1.42",
    "date": "2012-12-21 00:00:00",
    "status": "200",
    "data": {
        "status": true,
        "message": "Request processed correctly"
    }
}

and the :json:`"fields"` array:

["!from", "!data!status", "!this!field!is!not!in!message"]

the third field won’t be found, so the call to Darwin will be dropped.
