Ingestion Pipeline Templates Overview

Introduction

XDR Vector Templates define the data transformation and routing configurations for the Vector processing pipeline. These templates ensure consistent data processing across different log sources and destinations.

Directory Structure

The vector templates follow a standardized directory structure:

├── 000-*****
|   └── v{major}_{minor}_{patch}/
|       └── 000-*****.yml
├── 101-*****
|   └── v{major}_{minor}_{patch}/
|       └── 101-*****.yml
└── 201-*****
    └── v{major}_{minor}_{patch}/
        └── 201-*****.yml
