Description

There was a need to add custom fields for data export to clickhouse. I found information that there is an option --custom-fields which seems to allow this to be implemented. I don't have this option in the installed nprobe (version 10.7.240814). The task is to add a couple of fields with static data that are not taken from traffic but are simply set at the time of launching the traffic capture. Is it possible to implement it somehow?

Research direction

Start by checking the --custom-fields option in the installed nProbe version and the ClickHouse export path. Determine whether static fields can be supplied when launching traffic capture; done means establishing the supported configuration or documenting the missing implementation scope.
