This will be very similar to the [question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-exclude-key-value-pair-from-kv-filter-if-key-size-greater-than-15-char/269566/2) you asked about filtering on just the key length

```
ruby {
    code => '
        event.to_hash.each { |k, v|
            if k.length > 15 and v.length > 100
                event.remove(k)
            end
        }
    '
}
```
