Will Custom Context in standard snowplow javascript tracker event be recognised as an attribute in google pub/sub?

Hello Team,

I am trying to make use of the Custom Context in snowplow javascript tracker.

Will this custom context be identified as an attribute in google pub/sub subscription? I am trying to make use of the filter option in google pub/sub subscription to filter out relevant messages based on this attribute. I am not very sure if this is the right way to go about this.

This is our snowplow setup in google kubernetes engine.
JS tracker → collector(gke) → google pub/sub → enricher → google pub/sub → stream loader → Google Big query

These are the versions used.

Collector : snowplow/scala-stream-collector-pubsub:2.4.5
Enricher  : snowplow/snowplow-enrich-pubsub:2.0.5
Stream_loader : snowplow/snowplow-bigquery-streamloader:1.2.0
Repeater : snowplow/snowplow-bigquery-streamloader:1.2.0
Mutator : snowplow/snowplow-bigquery-mutator:1.2.0

Any help is really appreciated.

Not by default no. If you want to filter on the event name (unstruct event) this is possible but as far as I know I don’t think it’s possible to do this for contexts.

To filter on event name you can specify event_name in the attributes section of enrich pubsub here.

Thanks @mike for this, I somehow missed this configuration option.
