      Proposed title of this feature request

      Allow users to disable enrichment for Splunk output 

       

      What is the nature and description of the request?

      With syslog type output, there is a way to disable (or minimise) enrichment of the log record. The functionality is not available for any other output yet.

      $ oc explain obsclf.spec.outputs.syslog.enrichment
      GROUP:      observability.openshift.io
      KIND:       ClusterLogForwarder
      VERSION:    v1
      
      FIELD: enrichment <string>
      ENUM:
          None
          KubernetesMinimal
      
      DESCRIPTION:
          Enrichment is an additional modification to the log message before
          forwarding it to the receiver.
          
          Supported values are:
          1. None
             - Adds no additional enrichment to the record
          2. KubernetesMinimal
             - Adds namespace_name, pod_name, and container_name to the beginning of
          the message body (e.g. namespace_name=myproject, container_name=server,
          pod_name=pod-123, message={"foo":"bar"}).
          This may result in the message body being an invalid JSON structure. 

      Similar functionality is being looked upon for Splunk output as well.

      The goal is to minimise the transformation of log records by vector and improve its throughput.

       

      Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements)

      To improve the throughput of vector

       

      List any affected packages or components.
