Conditional processing lets you define 'run when' rules at the processor or entry level, so transformations only apply to relevant log entries. It works across 21 processors including Grok, Add Entries, Rename Key, and more. The Drop Events processor filters out unwanted log entries from third-party pipeline connectors based on custom conditions, helping reduce noise and lower ingestion costs. Both features are available at no additional cost in all AWS regions where CloudWatch pipelines is generally available. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
