Hi,
I have a JSON file which has a key value pair. I want to discard the events which contains "Name":"John" ( I mean if "Name" column is having "John" value ). The events which contains this "John" name should be discarded or should not be indexed.

Please let me know the possible ways !!

Regards,
Abhay

You can use regex patterns to match and set that to be dumped to nullQueue.
