The {ls} configuration pipeline listens for incoming {agent} connections,
processes received events, and then sends the events to {es}.

Please be aware that the structure of the documents sent from {agent} to {ls} must not be modified by the pipeline.
We recommend that the pipeline doesn’t edit or remove the fields and their contents.
Editing the structure of the documents coming from {agent} can prevent the {es} ingest pipelines associated to the integrations in use to work correctly.
We cannot guarantee that the {es} ingest pipelines associated to the integrations using {agent} can work with missing or modified fields.

The following {ls} pipeline definition example configures a pipeline that listens on port `5044` for
incoming {agent} connections and routes received events to {es}.
