Rename Attributes

This feature allows the user to rename the log attributes before forwarding it to any destination.

Attribute is a piece of information which determines the properties of a field or tag.

Renaming log attributes will only work when logs are being forwarded to any destination.

You should use this feature if:

You want to increase cost savings
You want to decrease the payload size being forwarded
You want to rename the labels to maintain a set standard across teams
You want to rename the attributes to enhance the readability

To rename the log attributes you can head to the Create Rule page.

Go to the "Forward" section.
Fill the details that are asked such as "Name", "Group", "Description", "Namespace", "Application Match", and if you want you can add more parameters.
Toggle the "Forward Labels" button, and select the Labels that are to be Forwarded to the destination.
Toggle the "Rename Labels" button, and Select the labels that have to be renamed before they are forwarded.
You will be able to see all the selected labels and Input fields corresponding to every labels, Rename the labels according to your needs.
Click "Create rule" button.
Now, this Rule is created and it can be previewed in "Active Rules" page.

NOTE: You should make sure that multiple rules are not active on a similar namespace, otherwise, both rules will be applied which will result in duplicate data being forwarded.
