Modifying your analytics data

Update the Analytics CR to customize data in your IBM® API Connect Analytics deployment.

1. Open the analytics_cr.yaml file for editing.
2. Enable the inclusion of geoIP fields in your analytics data by locating the ingestion section and inserting the following lines:

   
   spec:
     ingestion:
       ...
       geoIPEnabled: true

   By default the client_geoip and gateway_geoip fields are not included in the analytics data. These are calculated from the client_ip and gateway_ip fields, respectively. Setting geoIPEnabled to true enables this feature.

3. Locate the appropriate filter section and add a filter definition.

   You can add filters for ingestion and for offloading, so be sure to add your filter to the correct section. For information about where to add filters for local data and offloaded data, see Which pipeline is affected by the filter?.

   For example filters, see Sample filters for modifying analytics data.

   For example, you can add a filter into the ingestion section, just after the geoip filter added in the previous step. The following example filter removes the query_string field:

   spec:
     ingestion:
       ... 
       geoIPEnabled: true
       filter: |
         mutate {
           remove_field => ["query_string"]
         }

4. Save the file.
