Logstash/Grok: Read substring from field using regex

logstash,grok

Thanks for your help. Solved it with this grok config which is pretty similar to your suggestion. grok { patterns_dir => "/path/to/elk-stack/logstash-1.4.2/bin/custom_patterns" match => [ "message", "\"%{GREEDYDATA:domain}\" - %{IP:client_ip} \[%{GREEDYDATA:log_timestamp}\] \"%{WORD:method}\" \"%{GREEDYDATA:request_uri}\" - \"%{GREEDYDATA:query_string}\" - \"%{GREEDYDATA:protocol}\" - %{NUMBER:http_statuscode} %{NUMBER:bytes} \"%{GREEDYDATA:user_agent}\" %{NUMBER:seconds} %{NUMBER:milliseconds} \"%{GREEDYDATA:server_node}\""] match...

have a grok filter create nested fields as a result

logstash,syslog,grok

Yes, this is expected. I don't think there's a way to produce nested fields with grok. I suspect you'll have to use the mutate filter to move them into place. mutate { rename => { "date" => "[drupal][date]" "instigator" => "[drupal][instigator]" ... } } If you have a lot of...

logstash grok remove fqdn from hostname and igone ip

json,logstash,grok,logstash-grok

Your problem is that the regex for WORD matches a number. The easiest thing to do would be to protect the grok's so that they don't run for IP addresses: if [src] !~ /\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+/ { grok { match => { "src" => "%{WORD:src}" } overwrite => ["src"] } } And...

Logstash filters: When is a filter executed?

logstash,grok

Logstash can't operate on more than one .conf simultaneously, or create some sort of workflow of configuration files, its just not supported/implemented that way. The .conf file tells logstash what inputs to read, what filters to apply, and how to output the events. You'll have to put everything in one...

how to match several possible log events formats?

How can i use grok filter to get the matched messages in the tomcat logs?

tomcat,filter,logstash,grok

The grok filter is used to extract fields from messages. It doesn't do any filtering. You should use a conditional and the drop filter: filter { if [message] !~ /Server start up in/ { drop { } } } Or: filter { if "Server start up in" not in [message]...

Grok pattern with this log line

regex,pattern-matching,logstash,grok,logstash-grok

This should work: filter { grok { match => [ "message", "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp} %{LOGLEVEL:severity} \[(?<threadname>[^\]]+)\] \[(?<classname>[^\]]+)\] %{GREEDYDATA:message}" ] overwrite => ["message"] } } ...

can't force GROK parser to enforce integer/float types on haproxy logs

types,mapping,logstash,kibana,grok

It's quite possible that Logstash is doing the right thing here (your configuration looks correct), but how Elasticsearch maps the fields is another matter. If a field in an Elasticsearch document at some point has been dynamically mapped as a string, subsequent documents added to the same index will also...

Grok with Logstash - Logs from windows and linux - how?

_grokparsefailure on successful match

logstash,syslog,grok,logstash-grok

The _grokparsefailure is not add by your own filter grok. When you use syslog input, the syslog format must be follow RFC3164, as mentioned in here. Generally , Syslog input will parse the log and add corresponding field like log severity. So, there is a grok action in it. However,...

Update @timetamp field in logstash with custom timestamp value

elasticsearch,logstash,grok,logstash-grok,logstash-forwarder

You need to use GROK filter to extract the time value and then use DATE filter parse the value into @timestamp For example: input { stdin { codec => multiline { pattern => "(^%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601}) | (^.+Exception+) | (^.+Error+)" negate => true what => "previous" } } } filter { grok...

logstash grok filter ignore certain parts of message

logstash,syslog,grok

If you want to unconditionally drop a field, just add a remove_field => ['port'] to you grok block. If you want to conditionally remove something, you can use either a ruby filter to check what is in the field before removing it, or use an if around a mutate {...

So if you know it's always going to be random.log-something -- if [path] =~ /random.log/ { mutate { replace => ["path", "random.log"] } } If you want to "fix" anything that has a date in it: if [path] =~ /-\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d/ { grok { match => [ "path", "^(?<pathPrefix>[^-]+)-" ] }...

Logstash Multiple Log Formats

apache,logging,logstash,grok

So one part that was annoying me was the geoip filter when using the COMBINEDAPACHELOG pattern to parse the line: 192.168.1.5 portal.mycompany.com - - [15/Mar/2015:04:15:02 -0400] "GET /index.php/account/process_upload_file?upload_file=T702135.0315.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 9 "-" "Wget/1.11.4 Red Hat modified" It would get the ip of portal.mycompany.com and use that to determine the location....

logstash if statement within grok statement

logstash,grok,logstash-grok

Conditionals go outside the filters, so something like: if [field] == "value" { grok { ... } ] would be correct. In your case, do the first grok, then test to run the second, i.e.: grok { match => [ "message", "%{NUMBER:engcode1} %{DATESTAMP_12H:timestamp} %{NUMBER:engcode2} %{NUMBER:engcode3} %{NUMBER:engcode4} %{NUMBER:ppid} %{NUMBER:pid} %{NUMBER:engcode5} %{WORD:processhost}...

logstash,kibana,grok,kibana-4

If your grok{} fails to match a one of the patterns that you've provided, it will set a tag called "_grokparsefailure". You can search for this: tags:_grokparsefailure If you have multiple grok{} filters, it's recommended to use the tag_on_failure parameter to set a different tag for each grok, so you...

How to use logstash to grok the message which is a hash

logstash,grok

First, you have to parse out your json data by grok filter. Then, use json filter to parse all the hashmap value. With this config I can parse your log and create all the field:value. Hope this can help you. input { stdin{ } } filter { grok { match...

Logstash patter for log4j

log4j,logstash,grok

Since your grok pattern contains double quotes you have to either escape the double quotes inside the expression by preceding them with a backslash, or use single quotes as the pattern string delimiter. Example 1: grok { match => ["message", "<log4j:event logger=\"%{DATA:emitter}\" ..." ] } Example 2: grok { match...

Parsing “request” field from AWS ELB logs

ruby,parsing,amazon-web-services,logstash,grok

What about something like this, to replace the last element of your grok filter? \"%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request} HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion}\" I've never actually administered logstash before, but I pieced this together by looking at the source code for the built-in filters, some of which are evidently built on top of other built-in filters....

First point, when repeating testing with the file input, be sure to use sincedb_path => "/dev/null" to be sure to read from the beginning of the file. About multiline, there must be something wrong either with your question content or your multiline pattern because none of the event have the...

How to test a helper Grok view that makes a redirect

testing,plone,grok

I would avoid using transaction commits in test code. The test framework is specifically designed to roll back the transactions at the end of each test. Your setUp override goes against this. To check status messages in a unit test you should be able to do something like: from Products.statusmessages.interfaces...

Logstash and Windows 2008 DNS debug logs

Don't get hung up on the fact that the logfile happens to have a fixed-width format. It doesn't really help here since. Parse the file like it's any old logfile using relevant grok patterns. This works for the input you provided: (?<timestamp>%{DATE_US} %{TIME} (?:AM|PM))\s+%{NUMBER}\s+%{WORD:dns_type}\s+ %{BASE16NUM}\s+%{WORD:dns_protocol}\s+%{WORD:dns_direction}\s+%{IP:dns_ip}\s+ %{BASE16NUM}\s+%{WORD:dns_query_type}\s+\[%{BASE16NUM}\s+%{WORD}\s+ %{WORD:dns_result}\]\s+%{WORD:dns_record}\s+%{GREEDYDATA:dns_domain} That said, since...

Logstash grok parse error parsing log file

parsing,logstash,grok

TIMESTAMP_ISO8601 matches: %{YEAR}-%{MONTHNUM}-%{MONTHDAY}[T ]%{HOUR}:?%{MINUTE}(?::?%{SECOND})?%{ISO8601_TIMEZONE}? and your date is not in that format. There doesn't seem to be a predefined pattern for you, so here's one that will work: %{DAY} +%{MONTHDAY} %{MONTH} %{YEAR} +%{TIME} %{WORD} Note that %{TZ} doesn't like GMT, so I used %{WORD}. Good luck....

conditional matching with grok for logstash

logstash,grok,logstash-grok

The grok filter can be configured with multiple patterns: grok { match => [ "message", "%{DATA:php_error_type}: %{DATA:message_part1}%{URIPATHPARAM:file_name}%{GREEDYDATA:errormsg}", "message", "%{DATA:php_error_type}: %{GREEDYDATA:errormsg}", "message", "%{DATA:message_part1}%{URIPATHPARAM:file_name}%{GREEDYDATA:errormsg}", ] } (Instead of a single filter with multiple patterns you could have multiple grok filters, but then you'd probably want to disable the _grokparsefailure tagging with tag_on_failure...

Regular expression for untypical parentheses

regex,grok

In Grok, you'd need the following regex with a named capture group: \((?<name>[^()]*)\) This will match a text inside parentheses excluding parentheses. To include them, just put them into the capturing group: (?<name>\([^()]*\)) The negated character class [^()]* matches 0 or more characters other than ) and (. UPDATE: As...

Logstash: Parsing apache access log's timestamp leads to parse failure

filter,logstash,datetime-format,grok

The is malformed at "Mar/2014:15:36:43 +0100" part of the error message indicates that the timestamp parser has a problem with the month name. This suggests that the default locale is something other than English (specifically, a language where the third month isn't abbreviated "Mar"). This can be solved by explicitly...

logstash grok parse user agent string parse certain fields

logstash,grok,logstash-grok

Use the useragent filter to parse such fields. filter { useragent { source => "field-with-useragent" } } It won't extract the WOW64 string, though, but I doubt it's very useful anyway (and I'm sure not all browsers provide it). That said, you could look for that string yourself with a...
