parse-binary

Decode event.payload from a base64-encoded string to a text string using the specified encoding. The output event has {payload: string} with the decoded value. Events with no payload field are dropped.

Config

Required:

• encoding: One of utf8, ascii, or base64
  • utf8: Decode base64 → UTF-8 string (drops event on invalid UTF-8)
  • ascii: Decode base64 → ASCII string, replacing non-ASCII bytes with ?
  • base64: Passthrough — payload is already a base64 string, emitted unchanged

Example

pipeline:
  parse-binary:
    config:
      encoding: utf8
