Delete Fields
Description
The Delete Fields processor can be used to remove attributes, resource attributes, and log record body keys from telemetry in the pipeline.
warning
Deleting Metric attributes may be unsound.
Be careful when deleting metric attributes. Deleting attributes on metrics may cause multiple data points to have the same set of attributes, causing a datapoint collision.
