Field Hasher

Supported pipeline types:

  • Data Collector
The Field Hasher processor uses an algorithm to encode data. Use the processor to encode highly-sensitive data. For example, you might use the Field Hasher processor to encode social security or credit card numbers.

Field Hasher provides several methods to enable hashing individual fields or the entire record. You can hash any field that can be converted to a string. The resulting hash is a string value.

You can configure the Field Hasher processor to use MD5, SHA1, SHA-256, SHA-512, or MurmurHash3 128 to hash field values. You can optionally add a single field separator character to fields before hashing.
