hi all

may i ask one thing.

i use `node stats api` to check event counts and duration time for logstash pipeline performance.

pipeline config eg is:

> filter {  
> if "Exception" in [message] {   
> grok {  
> # exceptions   
> match =\> { "message" =\> ["^(?\<log\_timestamp\>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d{1,3})._?(?\d+)._?%{WORD:log\_level}"]}  
> add\_field =\> { "api\_code" =\> "blablabla" }  
> add\_field =\> { "log\_type" =\> "SYSTEM\_ERROR" }   
> }  
> }  
> else {  
> drop {  
> percentage =\> 100  
> }  
> }  
> }

then i ship 200 log to logstash  
target is: **_match log 100 ship and un-match log 100 drop_**

but node stats api show me

> {  
> "host" : "UAT-LOGSTASH-02",  
> "version" : "6.1.1",  
> "http\_address" : "127.0.0.1:9600",  
> "id" : "e87b9426-b9d5-4fad-9360-27791cf13ca3",  
> "name" : "UAT-LOGSTASH-02",  
> "events" : {  
> "in" : 200,  
> "filtered" : 200,  
> "out" : 200,  
> "duration\_in\_millis" : 2761,  
> "queue\_push\_duration\_in\_millis" : 93  
> }  
> }

and kibana show me **_my target 100 hits_**.

so, my question is that why node api show "out" : 200?  
and is drop filter plugin actual drop?

appreciate if someone explain me!! 🙂
