Cherry-pick of PR #19209 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
Add an example to packetbeat.yml of using the
forwardedtag to disablehostmetadata fields when processing network data from network tap or mirror port.With the default config you simply add
tags: [forwarded]and the processors will remove
host.*(and not includeadd_host_metadata).Why is it important?
For users collecting monitoring a network tap or mirror port its important to not include the
hostfields in events because this traffic did not originate on the Packetbeat host.Checklist
