Description

This issue is to track interest in adding in a percentage configuration to the Drop Event Processor. When specified, the given percentage of messages will be dropped. The default value would be 100. Valid values would be [0, 100].

In Logstash, this is already implemented (documentation here.)

Research direction

Start at the Drop Event Processor entry point and inspect its existing configuration and tests. Compare the intended percentage behavior with the linked Logstash documentation, including the default and valid range. Done means the processor accepts and validates percentage values and drops messages accordingly, with coverage for the specified boundaries and default.
