Hello,

I want to injest via filebeat only data from containers that are in a certain namespace. Is there a possibility to do that?

I have tried the following and now it does drop all events.

```auto
processors:
  - drop_event:
      when:
        not:
          equals:
            kubernetes.namespace: ["name"]

```

Any idea on how to make this work?

Can you post a sample Filebeat event that should be ingested? You can use `output.console.enabled: true` in your Filebeat configuration to print out the event.

I have figured it out by using regexp and filtering the log.file.path field. with it.
