Set remove_entries in a sandbox configuration about hindsight HOT 5 CLOSED

Unlikely, since it would break the Heka Sandbox API.
However, I am interested in your use case. Will you provided more details of what you are trying to do and why?

from hindsight.

My use-case is simple: I need to configure a sandbox based on some environment variable.

So my plan was to get the environment variable from my sandbox' Lua code:

local os = require 'os'
local foo = os.getenv('FOO')

For this to work I need os.getenv to be available from the same box. So my plan was to set remove_entries in the sandbox' configuration file. Something like this:

remove_entries = {
  os = {'setlocale', 'execute'}    -- do not remove `getenv`
}

Thanks.

For input/output plugins I would be fine with removing that restriction, but for analysis plugins the environment wouldn't be exposed (you would have to generate the cfg with variable in it)

closed i/o sandboxes now allow os.getenv() calls
