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.
