Hi  
Fairly new to Elastic so apologies if this is an obvious issue!  
I'm trying to create a new processor to drop any entries containing:

- user\_agent.original =="GoogleHC/1.0"

But when I add a processor containing that key/value as a condition, I'm getting an 'unable to create pipeline' message. This would be a useful processor to create as currently we get a lot of GCP health check messages added to our logs and being able to exclude them would be tidier.  
Any ideas would be appreciated!  
Thanks
