It will support stateful processing across multiple instances of data pipelines for observability use cases such as distributed tracing and multi-line log events (e.g. stack traces, aggregations, and log-to-metric transformations). Currently Data Prepper supports processing of distributed trace data and will support processing of logs and metric data in the future. + ## Table of Contents - [Overview](docs/readme/overview.md)
