Can Someone help with writing a java-script processor in a filebeat configuration file. I want to index all documents of a JSON response from a URL endpoint which do not have a field value "name" equals to 'PG3' in it. ie. (It should index documents with "name" field with any value execpt PG3).

Hi @saxena_shk7,

Do you have an existing configuration that you are working with? Which version of Filebeat are you using?

I don't believe you need to use a JavaScript processor for this. Have you tried using a [HTTP endpoint input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-http_endpoint.html) to pull the messages, and then process the messages using a [drop processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/drop-event.html) with an [equals condition](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/defining-processors.html#conditions) similar to `name: "PG3"`?

Let me know if there's a specific reason why you need a JavaScript processor, or have questions about the above approach.
