# Mezmo Log Analysis Source Pipeline

> Overview of the four-step Pipeline that Mezmo Log Analysis customers use to optimize log data, including each Processor and its configuration.

In November of 2024, Mezmo Log Analysis customers were given access to a Pipeline designed specifically to provide them with an optimized log data management experience. This topic provides an overview of the new features available to customers through this Pipeline, as well as an overview of the Processors in this Pipeline and their configuration.

## Access the Pipeline

1. Log in to the Mezmo Web App.
2. Click the Pipeline icon at the top of the left navigation column.

<Warning>
  Do not edit the Pipeline without consulting Mezmo Technical Services.
</Warning>

## Pipeline Architecture

The Log Analysis Source Pipeline processes data in four steps, with each step designed to optimize your data for use with Mezmo Log Management.

| 2. Route Processor                | The [Route Processor](/telemetry-pipelines/route-processor) uses conditional statements to identify Kubernetes enrichment metrics, app/file metadata, and other relevant data for further processing, while unmatched data is sent directly to Log Analysis. | <img src="https://mintcdn.com/mezmo-9a59581a/uS5U7z9j4833qA9M/images/shared/tyh04lxdsigtonmi55hovtroclow1yq9ffcj2q9bny06o3eoq01ikhh252ygaznt.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uS5U7z9j4833qA9M&q=85&s=037aa2782544faeaefb6b6b13e0a55b5" alt="" width="939" height="1636" data-path="images/shared/tyh04lxdsigtonmi55hovtroclow1yq9ffcj2q9bny06o3eoq01ikhh252ygaznt.png" /> |
| 3. Remove Fields Processor        | The [Remove Fields Processor](/telemetry-pipelines/drop-fields-processor) drops the .app field when a file is also present.                                                                                                                                  | <img src="https://mintcdn.com/mezmo-9a59581a/uS5U7z9j4833qA9M/images/shared/fstjxllfw58f071eqvkcysxefr3khm30gqseewho45foufyt0qs3xx2x8chlm5rw.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uS5U7z9j4833qA9M&q=85&s=d201f1089c34a0dafed1ea0578e44cac" alt="" width="946" height="714" data-path="images/shared/fstjxllfw58f071eqvkcysxefr3khm30gqseewho45foufyt0qs3xx2x8chlm5rw.png" />   |
| 4. Route Processor                | The [Route Processor](/telemetry-pipelines/route-processor) routes empty fields to a [Blackhole](/telemetry-pipelines/blackhole-destination) Destination, where they are dropped.                                                                            | <img src="https://mintcdn.com/mezmo-9a59581a/uS5U7z9j4833qA9M/images/shared/fmd2o3bdhah36vvt3dz431n635n9swu14c0jwvzkwgk8ibxwcxjoqhajobsqvjqe.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uS5U7z9j4833qA9M&q=85&s=55e70a35f256a08d9310c6cfc34babbc" alt="" width="892" height="1165" data-path="images/shared/fmd2o3bdhah36vvt3dz431n635n9swu14c0jwvzkwgk8ibxwcxjoqhajobsqvjqe.png" /> |
| 5. Log Analysis Destination       | The processed telemetry data is sent to Mezmo Log Analysis.                                                                                                                                                                                                  | <img src="https://mintcdn.com/mezmo-9a59581a/uS5U7z9j4833qA9M/images/shared/mfqjapuzyz0otmq3l8uhg96a2uc2yuk8gqksiveq8a12donygjwj5l5cjqre5f5s.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uS5U7z9j4833qA9M&q=85&s=a5bb0f54848127987c70392ad8337a03" alt="" width="887" height="1974" data-path="images/shared/mfqjapuzyz0otmq3l8uhg96a2uc2yuk8gqksiveq8a12donygjwj5l5cjqre5f5s.png" /> |
