Remove processor [streams-remove-processor]

The Remove processor removes a field (Remove) or removes a field and all its nested fields (Remove by prefix) from your documents.

To remove a field:

1. Select Create → Create processor.
2. From the Processor menu, select Remove to remove a field or Remove by prefix to remove a field and all its nested fields.
3. Set the Source Field to the field you want to remove.

This functionality uses the {{es}} Remove processor internally, but you configure it in Streamlang. Streamlang doesn’t always have 1:1 parity with the ingest processor options and behavior. Refer to Processor limitations and inconsistencies.
