Hi there,
is there a 'trick' to disable collecting the http\_poller\_metadata fields when using this plugin? I am only interested in the acutal data I get.
Right now I am doing this:
http\_poller {
urls =\> {
url =\> "[https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/1.9/.json?lat=51.2217&lon=6.7762](https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/1.9/.json?lat=51.2217&lon=6.7762)"
}
request\_timeout =\> 60
schedule =\> { every =\> "1m"}
codec =\> "json"
metadata\_target =\> "http\_poller\_metadata"
}
kind regards
Stefano

If you do not set the metadata\_target option then it will use the default, which is '@metadata'. In that case the metadata will not be stored with the event.
