Thanks Raji, though that begs the question, how does one redirect to NullSink 
from within a decorator?

Basically I need to do this:

if (event body matches allowed regex):
    allow through
else:
    redirect to NullSink (or drop some other way)

Cheers,

James

try redirecting them to NullSink. That will be the easiest method.

Thanks & Regards

Hello all,

I'm using Flume OG and attempting to write a decorator to filter events based 
on body text. The decorator will sit in front of the agent, so dropped events 
will not affect checksums etc.

The actual filtering seems simple enough, but I can't find any mention of the 
correct way to 'drop' an event from within a decorator.

Can anybody enlighten me?

Thanks,

James
