-You can set the topic dynamically by using a format string to access any event field. For example, this configuration uses a custom field, `fields.log_topic`, to set the topic for each event:

-Events that don't match against any defined processor are set to the default topic.

-Rule settings:
-
-`topic`::
-The topic format string to use. If this string contains field references, such as `%{[fields.name]}`, the fields must exist, or the rule fails.
-
-`mappings`::
-A dictionary that takes the value returned by `topic` and maps it to a new name.
-
-`default`::
-The default string value to use if `mappings` does not find a match.
-
-`when`::
-A condition that must succeed in order to execute the current rule. Refer to <<processor-conditions,conditions>> in the Elastic Agent processor syntax for condition descriptions. Currently the equals, contains, and regexp conditions are available.

-As an example for setting up your processors, you might want to route log events based on severity. To do so, you can specify a default topic for all events not matched by other processors:
