WKT or GeoJson Repair Logstash Filter

Repairs WKT or GeoJson Polygons/Multipolygons on a Logstash event that are ambiguous or ill-defined and returns a coherent and clearly defined output.

Examples of ambigous or ill-defined polygons include, but not limited to:

• A polygon with dangling edge
• A polygon that is not closed
• A polygon that self intersects

{
    ...
    filter {
        wkt_repair {
            source => "wkt"
            target => "wkt_repaired"
            type => "WKT|GeoJson"
            tag_on_failure => [ "_wkt_repair_failure" ]
        }
    }
    ...
}
