In this chapter, we covered various interceptors shipped with Flume, including:
Timestamp: These are used to add a timestamp header, possibly overwriting an existing one.
Host: This is used to add the Flume agent hostname or IP as a header in the event.
Static: This is used to add static String headers.
Regular expression filtering: This is used to include or exclude events based on a matched regular expression.
Regular expression extractor: This is used to create headers from matched regular expressions. It's useful for routing with Channel Selectors.
Morphline: This is used to delegate transformation to a Morphline command chain.
Custom: This is used to create any custom transformations you need that you can't find elsewhere.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
