Explanation

When configuring transforms.conf to manipulate or remove events (such as routing events to the null queue to drop them), three attributes are required: REGEX (the regular expression pattern that identifies which events to act on), DEST_KEY (the destination field to modify - commonly set to 'queue' for event routing/dropping), and FORMAT (the replacement value or routing destination - for dropping events, this is set to 'nullQueue'). For example, to drop events matching a pattern: REGEX = <pattern>, DEST_KEY = queue, FORMAT = nullQueue. The other options either misspell attribute names (DEST.FORMAT, FORMATTING) or include incorrect attributes (SRC_KEY is used in field extraction, not event manipulation).
