About filters and filter chains

You can apply filters to input and output data. For example, if the input data is compressed you must apply a decompression filter to the input data. See Filter reference for information about available filters.

Filter chains

When you create a filter, you must first create a filter chain resource. Then you add the filter to the filter chain, and configure the filter settings. See Creating filter chains for information on how to create a filter chain.

Adding filters to a connector

To add a filter to a connector, you must add a filter chain that contains the filter to the connector. See Adding filter chains to connectors for information on how to add a filter chain to a connector.
