Cherry-pick of PR #20465 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
Specify
type
to theconvert
processor so that fields are renamed onlyif the value is (or can be coerced to) the desired type. This prevents the
module from writing incompatible data types into fields and prevents
mapping exceptions.
The data in the google cloud audit logs can vary based on the source service
so any time the module makes an assumption about a field that's not explicitly
documented the module should be very defensive.
The request/response object values would be good candidates for the flattened data type
if we want to make a future change.
Why is it important?
It fixes a mapping exceptions that are occurring frequently.
