Pipeline Manager Processors

Ent+

This feature is available as an add-on for the Honeycomb Enterprise plan. Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.

What are Processors?

Processors can be inserted into your telemetry pipeline to transform your data before it arrives at your destination. Adding attributes, filtering, and converting logs to metrics are all the types of transformations we can do using processors in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline Manager.
