Header filter

Header filter

The header filter can filter a message using a header property. The filter returns a boolean value. Based on this value and the inverse value, the message is either passed through or sent to the discard flow.

This filter can be used as a simple router service.

In the table below, you will find an explanation of these properties. All attributes with a ‘*’ are mandatory.
