The Sensu Event Streamliner is a Sensu Mutator that removes certain redundant event information that may not be needed in certain situations (e.g. sending off to an event indexer).
The event fields removed are:
- event.Entity.Redact
- event.Entity.System.Network.Interfaces
- event.Entity.Subscriptions
- event.Check.Handlers
- event.Check.History
- event.Check.RuntimeAssets
- event.Check.Subscriptions
My anecdotal testing has shown that this reduces the event payload sent to a handler by between one and two KiB per event.
There are no arguments to this mutator, so the usage is quite simple.
