Description

The TA runner can read props.conf and transforms.conf.

By default, it will only use the SHOULD_LINEMERGE setting to send data as a combined entry or a set of entries, one per line.

The TA runner could potentially apply most of the indexing time transformations, thereby reducing the work of the indexer which can then ingest the data directly.

  • Find if field aliases are index or search time
  • support indexed extractions
  • support ingest eval
  • support rulesets
  • support transforms
  • support multiline merges

Research direction

Start by examining how the TA runner currently reads props.conf and transforms.conf, and how SHOULD_LINEMERGE produces combined or line-based entries. The unchecked items define the proposed scope: field aliases, indexed extractions, ingest eval, rulesets, and multiline merges; done would require deciding which indexing-time transformations are supported and implementing them.
