Feature Request: Please add tag_on_failure #61

Open MikeKemmerer opened 6 years ago

MikeKemmerer commented 6 years ago

While it's nice to have a default if there's no match, it would be nice to have the ability to tag data that doesn't have a match in the dictionary. Otherwise, I'll have to perform a remove_field to get rid of the default data after the rest of the work is done on a non-matching event. Having the tag to work with would be cleaner.

Thanks.

Under what circumstances would a tag be cleaner? Surely, if one sets the fallback to be "hey, translate 101 did not work" then:

  if [destination] != "hey, translate 101 did not work" {
    mutate {
      remove_field => ["destination']
  }

is no different from an tags include if conditional? What am I missing?
