# Move Field

### Description

The Move Field processor can be used to move a telemetry field.

### Use

The Move Field processor is utilized for moving telemetry fields in metrics, logs, and traces based on specified conditions.

### Supported Types

| Metrics | Logs | Traces |
| ------- | ---- | ------ |
| ✓       | ✓    | ✓      |

### Configuration

<table><thead><tr><th width="152.359375">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Telemetry Types</td><td>The types of telemetry to apply the processor to.</td></tr><tr><td>Condition</td><td>A condition that determines when this processor is applied.</td></tr><tr><td>Move From</td><td>The telemetry field to move from.</td></tr><tr><td>Move To</td><td>The telemetry field to move to.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example Configuration(s)

#### Moving An Entire Log Body

In this configuration, the entire body field is moved to a field on attributes called `body_nested`. This method is useful for destinations that ignore or use the body field in an undesired manner.

#### Nesting A Field

This configuration will nest an attributes field named `time_local` within another field named simply `time`. This is useful for simplifying or standardizing the data structure of incoming logs. In this example, note the use of bracket notation to create nested fields.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bindplane.com/integrations/processors/move-field.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
