The path_split node

since v1.3.3

Split a data-point by field root paths.

Outputs a data-point for every object, that is found under a root path. Values that are not objects themselves are ignored.

The original data-point will not be emitted by this node.

With include_name and include_as, the name of the root path can be used as a new field for the resulting data-points.

Note, that field/path names must start with a letter !

Examples

def path_prefix = 'module'

|json_emitter(
    '{"module1" : {"what" : "ever"}, "module2": {"this" : 555}, "module3" : 14}'
)

|path_split()
.include_as(path_prefix)

Here root paths are: module1, module2 and module3.

This example will produce 2 new data-points:

{"ts":  1675147412200, "module": "module1", "what": "ever"}

and

{"ts":  1675147412200, "module": "module2", "this": 555}

Data from root path module3 is ignored, because it is not an object (the value is '14') .

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
include_name( boolean )	Whether to include the root path name as a new field in the resulting points.	true
include_as( string )	The field name for the new field, if include_name is true.	'name'
