Exclude Logs

[adedokunk]

Is there a better ways to exclude with vector when toggle the configmap to true or false both exclude logs below is my code

my_logs_exclude:
      type: filter
      condition: |
          exclude_logs = get_env_var("MY_LOGS_EXCLUDE") ?? "false"

          if exclude_logs == "true" {
            !(.level == "INFO" || .status == "INFO" ) &&
            !(.logger_name == "INBOUND_REQUEST" ) &&
            !(.status == "DEBUG" ) &&
            !(.status == "WARN" )
          } else {
              false  # Allow all logs (disable filtering)
          }
      inputs:
        - my_input_logs
        ```

@jszwedko am not sure this is not working i did reverse the code. the datadog_logs shows event out but not getting to datadog

exclude_logs = get_env_var("MY_LOGS_EXCLUDE") ?? "false"
      if exclude_logs == "false" {
        true
      } else {
        # Only allow logs that are NOT in this excluded set
        !(.level == "INFO" || .status == "info") &&
        !(.logger_name == "INBOUND_REQUEST") &&
        !(.status == "DEBUG") &&
        !(.status == "warn")
      }

Good morning @jszwedko

[adedokunk]

Is there another optimal technique to do the aforementioned task? @jszwedko

Hey! Unfortunately I don't have the time to dig deeply into this. Hopefully someone else can drive by to offer thoughts. I would suggest troubleshooting by running locally and, once you've got Vector doing what you want there, try to adapt it to k8s.

Thank you for your time @jszwedko

Hi @adedokunk, did you resolve your issue? If not can you describe what is the problem here? From what I understand "MY_LOGS_EXCLUDE" is working correctly but it's not probably toggling when it's value is changed mid-run, is that right? Also your playground link doesn't include an input, please create another one if you'd like someone from the Vector team to take a look
