# Split

### Description

The `Split` processor splits a string into a list of strings using a specified delimiter.

### Use

The `Split` processor divides a string into a list of strings using a delimiter. Common delimiters include commas (`,`) and newlines (`\`).

### Supported Types

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

### Configuration

<table><thead><tr><th width="151.3359375">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Telemetry Types</td><td>Specifies which types of telemetry the processor should be applied to.</td></tr><tr><td>Delimiter</td><td>The character or string used to split the field.</td></tr><tr><td>Condition</td><td>Defines when the processor should be applied. If not specified, the processor will attempt to process all telemetry.</td></tr><tr><td>Split From</td><td>The source field to split.</td></tr><tr><td>Split To</td><td>The destination field that will store the split values.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example Configuration(s)

#### Splitting a log body by commas

This example demonstrates splitting a log body by commas and storing the resulting values back in the log body. The processor only applies when the `body` field equals "a,b,c", as specified in the `Condition` field.
