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 "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 "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 "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.
