How to unmask fields on adhoc basis?

Hi All ,

We have a sensitive field that we mask regularly ,but a use case has come where we have to store the particular filed as it is (without masking) based on a field value .does anyone have faced any case like that before ?

current scenario

customer_data ==xxxx specific_filed=abc

customer_data ==xxxx specific_filed=def

customer_data ==xxxx specific_filed=ghi

expected output

based on an adhoc request we have to unmask now the incoming data for field abc

customer_data ==12345 specific_filed=abc

customer_data ==xxxx specific_filed=def

customer_data ==xxxx specific_filed=ghi

If you're masking the data using SEDCMD or a transform then there's no "unmasking". The original data has been replaced and cannot be recovered.

A workaround would be to clone the data to a separate index with limited read access. Then you'd have to pull the unmasked data from the new index in addition to the masked data from the current index.

Perhaps you can use Ingest Actions to only mask non-abc data.
