Dropping events - I would like to match events Event_ExternalApiEvent and drop them only if the event Event_EppDetectionSummaryEvent is not true. Has anyone the best idea for this?

Your filter should be something like this: _rawOriginal.EventType == 'Event_ExternalApiEvent' && _rawOriginal.ExternalApiType != 'Event_EppDetectionSummaryEvent'

Thanks, I have now pulled sample data from Search and managed to confirm the drop is operating correctly. :slightly_smiling_face:
