create_bloom_filter

Creates a Bloom filter context.

context::create_bloom_filter name:string, capacity=int, fp_probability=float

Description

The context::create_bloom_filter operator constructs a new context of type Bloom filter.

To find suitable values for the capacity and false-positive probability, consult Thomas Hurst’s Bloom Filter Calculator. The parameter n corresponds to capacity and p to fp_probability.

You can also create a Bloom filter context as code by adding it to tenzir.contexts in your tenzir.yaml:

<prefix>/etc/tenzir/tenzir.yaml

tenzir:
  contexts:
    my-iocs:
      type: bloom-filter
      arguments:
        capacity: 1B
        fp-probability: 0.001

Making changes to arguments of an already created context has no effect.

name: string

The name of the new Bloom filter.

capacity = uint

The maximum number of items in the filter that maintain the false positive probability. Adding more elements does not yield an error, but lookups will more likely return false positives.

fp_probability = float

The false-positive probability of the Bloom filter.

Examples

Create a new Bloom filter context

context::create_bloom_filter "ctx", capacity=1B, fp_probability=0.001
