| Routing | record |

The "clone" pipeline processor: duplicate the current record N times (Graylog's clone_message). Clones carry the same base fields plus an optional mutations map per clone, so one pass can fan a record out into several variants for per-variant downstream processing (e.g. one clone tagged for metrics, one for archival).

## Configuration

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `count` | int | 1 | Number of copies produced. |
| `mutate` | listmap |  | per-clone field overrides |

## Example

```yaml
processor:
  - clone:
      count: 10
      mutate: []
```
