option to reject malformed requests

[jpcarey]

If the http input has codec => json set, and the request does not contain valid json - there should be an option to enable rejecting this message rather than just accepting it and returning a 200 OK (current behavior).

Hello did this ever get added to the input plugin? I could really use this functionality for error checking and tests. Thanks!

I was expecting that a malformed-JSON input would have returned a non-200 code as well, so it was a bit of a surprise to see them returning 200s. I do see that I can suppress a return code, but I'd prefer to outright reject it without having to add a filter drop or a null output.

While not a plugin issue, the JSON codec will throw errors for everyone of these.

Are there plans to fix this?
