Sampling Processor
You can do events sampling with Pipeline as well.
Without filters sampling is applied to all events, but by using filters you can sample only a subset of events.
One example might be to filter by events from one specific service. The sample rate is expressed as a percentage of events that should be stored. By default, the sampling rate is 100%, meaning no events will be dropped. Setting sampling to 10% means that only 10 in 100 events will be stored and 90 will be dropped.
Below is an example where we leave only 30% of log events with severity Information
, while events with all other severities will be processed without any sampling.
