+|======
+| Name               | Required | Default       | Description
+| `fields`           | yes      | n/a           | Array of fields to include in
+the fingerprint. For objects, the processor hashes both the field key and
+value. For other fields, the processor hashes only the field value.
+| `target_field`     | no       | `fingerprint` | Output field for the fingerprint.
+| `salt`             | no       | <none>        |
+{wikipedia}/Salt_(cryptography)[Salt value] for the hash function.
+| `method`           | no       | `SHA-1`       | The cryptographic hash function used to
+compute the fingerprint. Must be one of `MD5`, `SHA-1`, `SHA-256`, or `SHA-512`.
+| `ignore_missing`   | no       | `false`       | If `true`, the processor
+ignores any missing `fields`. If all fields are missing, the processor silently
+exits without modifying the document.

+===== Example
+
+The following example illustrates the use of the fingerprint processor:

+  "pipeline": {
+    "processors": [
+      {
+        "fingerprint": {
+          "fields": ["user"]

+    ]
+  },
+  "docs": [
+    {

+          "is_active": true
