grok filter for processing log4j logs pattern in Logstash - log4j

I am stuck in finding grok filter for processing conversion pattern %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%t][%c] %m%n in log4j logs
here is an example log entry:
2018-02-12 12:10:03 INFO classname:25 - Exiting application.
2017-12-31 05:09:06 WARN foo:133 - Redirect Request : login
2015-08-19 08:07:03 INFO DBConfiguration:47 - Initiating DynamoDb Configuration...
2016-02-12 11:06:49 ERROR foo:224 - Error Code : 500
can anyone help in finding the Logstash grok filter.

Here I found the filter for your log4j pattren.
filter{
mutate {
gsub => ['message', "\n", " "]
}
grok {
match => { "message" => "(?<date>[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}) (?:%{LOGLEVEL:loglevel}) +(?:%{WORD:caller_class}):(?:%{NONNEGINT:caller_line}) - (?:%{GREEDYDATA:msg})" }
}
}
However, this is specific to the above log.

Logstash - Grok Syntax Issues

I'm using filebeat to send log to logstash but I'm having issues with grok syntax on Logstash. I used the grok debugger on Kibanna and manager to come to a solution.
The problem is that I can't find the same syntax for Logstash.
The original log :
{"log":"188.188.188.188 - tgaro [22/Aug/2022:11:37:54 +0200] \"PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/xxx#yyyy.com/ HTTP/1.1\" 207 1035 \"-\" \"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows) mirall/2.6.1stable-Win64 (build 20191105) (Nextcloud)\"\n","stream":"stdout","time":"2022-08-22T09:37:54.782377901Z"}
The message receive in Logstash :
"message" => "{\"log\":\"188.188.188.188 - tgaro [22/Aug/2022:11:37:54 +0200] \\\"PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/xxx#yyyy.com/ HTTP/1.1\\\" 207 1035 \\\"-\\\" \\\"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows) mirall/2.6.1stable-Win64 (build 20191105) (Nextcloud)\\\"\\n\",\"stream\":\"stdout\",\"time\":\"2022-08-22T09:37:54.782377901Z\"}",
The Grok Pattern i used on Grok Debugger (Kibana):
{\\"log\\":\\"%{IPORHOST:clientip} %{HTTPDUSER:ident} %{HTTPDUSER:auth} \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\] \\\\\\"(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion})?|%{DATA:rawrequest})\\\\\\" (?:-|%{NUMBER:response}) (?:-|%{NUMBER:bytes}) \\\\\\("%{DATA:referrer}\\\\\\") \\\\\\"%{DATA:user-agent}\\\\\\"
The real problem is that I can't even manage to get the IP (188.188.188.188).
I tried :
match => { "message" => '{\\"log\\":\\"%{IPORHOST:clientip}' # backslash to escape the backslash
match => { "message" => '{\\\"log\\\":\\\"%{IPORHOST:clientip}' # backslash to escape the quote
match => { "message" => "{\\\"log\\\":\\\"%{IPORHOST:clientip}" # backslash to escape the quote
Help would be appreciated
Thanks !
ps : The log used here is shrink. The real log is mixed with Json and string so i can't send it as Json in Filebeat.
Ok, so i manage to make it work by using this :
grok {
match => { "message" => '%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{IPORHOST:syslog_server} %{WORD:syslog_tag}: %{GREEDYDATA:jsonMessage}' }
}
json {
source => "jsonMessage"
}
grok {
match => { "jsonMessage" => '%{IPORHOST:clientip} %{HTTPDUSER:ident} %{HTTPDUSER:auth} \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\] \\"(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion})?|%{DATA:rawrequest})\\" (?:-|%{NUMBER:response}) (?:-|%{NUMBER:bytes}) \\("%{DATA:referrer}\\") \\"%{DATA:user-agent}\\"'}
}
with log like this :
Aug 24 00:00:01 hostname containers: {"log":"188.188.188.188 - user.name#things.com [23/Aug/2022:23:59:52 +0200] \"PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/ HTTP/1.1\" 207 1159 \"-\" \"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux) mirall/3.4.2-1ubuntu1 (Nextcloud, ubuntu-5.15.0-46-generic ClientArchitecture: x86_64 OsArchitecture: x86_64)\"\n","stream":"stdout","time":"2022-08-23T21:59:52.612843092Z"}
The first match will fetch the first 3 field (time, hostname and tag), and then get everything after the : with the pattern GREEDYDATA in the jsonMessage.
Than the json filter is used on the jsonMessage. Since then, we have the information needed in the new field log created by using the json filter.
I still don't understand why my grok work on Kibanna debugger but not on Logstash. I mean it's probably because some character needs to be escaped. But even when i escape them it didn't work.
#RaiZy_Style has already filtered out the JSON using the JSON Filter and trying to match the jsonMessage using the GROK Filter
I used the GROK Debugger to create a grok pattern that will match jsonMessage field.
The jsonMessage that I assumed coming after using the JSON Filter for the above log example is:
188.188.188.188 - user.name#things.com [23/Aug/2022:23:59:52 +0200] \\"PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/ HTTP/1.1\\" 207 1159 \\"-\\" \\"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux) mirall/3.4.2-1ubuntu1 (Nextcloud, ubuntu-5.15.0-46-generic ClientArchitecture: x86_64 OsArchitecture: x86_64)\\"\\n"
Here is pattern that will work:
%{IPORHOST:clientip} %{USER:ident} %{DATA:auth} \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\] \\\\"(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion})?|%{DATA:rawrequest})" %{NUMBER:response} (?:%{NUMBER:bytes}|-) \\\\"
Output Screenshot:
Note: If you want to expand the rawrequest field value into individual filed, it can be done also.

ELK | Log file grok filtered format not pushing into elastic search

I have log file having below format to extract into elastic search, but logstash filtered data not pushing into elastic search.
Same grok filtered configuration am able to get it from kibana devtools
Sample logfile:
OCDE - 2019-05-22 13:24:34.000 ERROR org.ramyam.ocde.task.NBALookupTask.checkResponsesToBeProcessed - checkResponsesToBeProcessed started : Wed May 22 13:24:34 IST 2019
Filebeat configuration:
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
- C:\data\logs\OCDE.log
document_type: ocde
logstash configuration:
input {
file {
type => "ocde"
path => "C:\data\logs\OCDE.log"
}
beats {
port => 5044
ssl => false
}
}
filter {
grok {
match => [ "message" ,'%{DATA:moduleName} - %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:loggerTime}\s+%{LOGLEVEL:level}\s+%{JAVACLASS:className}\.%{DATA:methodName} - %{GREEDYDATA:loggermsg}}']
}
}
output {
if [type]=="ocde"
{
elasticsearch
{
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
#manage_template => false
index => "enliven_be_log_yyyymmdd"
document_type=> ocde
}
}
}
I am expecting below result from an above configuration in elastic search
{
"level": "ERROR",
"loggerTime": "2019-05-22 13:24:34.000",
"moduleName": "OCDE",
"methodName": "checkResponsesToBeProcessed",
"className": "org.ramyam.ocde.task.NBALookupTask",
"loggermsg": "checkResponsesToBeProcessed started : Wed May 22 13:24:34 IST 2019"
}
Can anyone please explain or share sample configuration what I am missing
You can try below grok pattern -
%{DATA:moduleName}%{SPACE}*-%{SPACE}*%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:loggerTime}%{SPACE}*%{LOGLEVEL:level}%{SPACE}*%{JAVACLASS:className}\.%{DATA:methodName}%{SPACE}*-%{SPACE}*%{GREEDYDATA:loggermsg}
Change your grok from:
%{DATA:moduleName} - %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:loggerTime}\s+%{LOGLEVEL:level}\s+%{JAVACLASS:className}\.%{DATA:methodName} - %{GREEDYDATA:loggermsg}}
to:
%{DATA:moduleName} - %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:loggerTime}\s+%{LOGLEVEL:level}\s+%{JAVACLASS:className}\.%{DATA:methodName} - %{GREEDYDATA:loggermsg}
To validate this, use http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/ and paste the log message you provided into the "
Your pattern works fine, you just had one extra bracket at the end.

How to remove filebeat tags like id, hostname, version, grok_failure message

I am new to elk my sample log is look like
2017-01-05T14:28:00 INFO zeppelin IDExtractionService transactionId abcdef1234 operation extractOCRData received request duration 12344 exception error occured
my filebeat configuration is below
filebeat.prospectors:
- input_type: log

document_type: apache-access
fields_under_root: true
output.logstash:
hosts: ["10.2.3.4:5044"]
And my logstash filter.conf file:
filter {
grok {
match => [ "message", "transactionId %{WORD:transaction_id} operation %{WORD:otype} received request duration %{NUMBER:duration} exception %{WORD:error}" ]
}
}
filter {
if "beats_input_codec_plain_applied" in [tags] {
mutate {
remove_tag => ["beats_input_codec_plain_applied"]
}
}
}
;
In kibana dashboard i can see log output as below

1 First question is how to remove filebeat tag like id,hostname,version,grok_failure message
2 how to sort logs on timestamp basis because Newly generated logs not appearing on top of kibana dashboard
3 Is there any changes required in my grok filter
You can remove filebeat tags by setting the value of fields_under_root: false in filebeat configuration file. You can read about this option here.
If this option is set to true, the custom fields are stored as
top-level fields in the output document instead of being grouped under
a fields sub-dictionary. If the custom field names conflict with other
field names added by Filebeat, the custom fields overwrite the other
fields.
you can check if _grokparsefailure is in tags using, if "_grokparsefailure" in [tags] and remove it with remove_tag => ["_grokparsefailure"]
Your grok filter seems to be alright.
Hope it helps.

grok filter logstash JSON parse error, original data now in message field

I'm using logstash with a configuration input{rabbitmq} filter{grok} output{elastic}
From rabbit I receive nginx logs in this format :
- - [06/Mar/2017:15:45:53 +0000] "GET /check HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "ELB-HealthChecker/2.0"
and I'm using grok filter as simple as follow :
filter{
if [type] == "nginx" {
grok{
match => { "message" => "%{NGINXACCESS}" }
}
}
}
and the pattern is
NGUSERNAME [a-zA-Z\.\#\-\+_%]+
NGUSER %{NGUSERNAME}
NGINXACCESS %{NGUSER:ident} %{NGUSER:auth} \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\] "%{WORD:verb} %{URIPATHPARAM:request} HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion}" %{NUMBER:response} (?:%{NUMBER:bytes}|-) (?:"(?:%{URI:referrer}|-)"|%{QS:referrer}) %{QS:agent}
I tried the pattern in grok debugger and it seems to work just fine but running the pipeline i get this error
[2017-03-06T16:46:40,692][ERROR][logstash.codecs.json ] JSON parse error, original data now in message field {:error=>#, :data=>"- - [06/Mar/2017:16:46:40 +0000] \"GET /check HTTP/1.1\" 200 0 \"-\" \"ELB-HealthChecker/2.0\""}
it seems like someone(logstash?) is adding \ to the result...
hope to get some help, thanks!
This does not seem to be a grok error at all. if grok fails to parse it will add a tag _grokparsefailure to your event. A JSON parse error would be due to your input trying to read codec => json {} when your log format is plainly not JSON. Make sure that your input plugin that is handling these log types is using codec => plain or an appropriate type.
See logstash codecs for more info.

Logstash custom log parsing

Need your help in custom log parsing through logstash
Here is the log format that I am trying to parse through logstash
2015-11-01 07:55:18,952 [abc.xyz.com] - /Enter, G, _null, 2702, 2, 2, 2, 2, PageTotal_1449647718950_1449647718952_2_App_e9c00521-eeec-4d47-bf5b-b842ec14a4ff_178.255.153.2___, , , NEW,
And my logstash conf file looks like below
input {
file {
path => [ "/tmp/access.log" ]
}
}
filter{
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp} %{GREEDYDATA:message}" }
}
date {
match => ["timestamp","yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSSS"]
}
}
For some reason running the logstash command passing the conf file doesnt parse the logs, not sure whats wrong with the config. Any help would be highly appreciated.
bin/logstash -f conf/access_log.conf
Settings: Default filter workers: 6
Logstash startup completed
I have checked your Grok Match filter and is fine with:
Grok Debugger
You don't have to use the date matcher because the grok matcher already correctly match the TIMESTAMP_ISO8601 timestamp.
I think your problem is with "since_db" file.
Here is the documentation:
since_db
In few words, logstash remember if a file is already read and doesn't read it anymore. Logstash remember if one file was already read because write it in the since Database.
If you would like to test your filter reading always the same file, you could try:
input {
file {
path => [ "/tmp/access.log" ]
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
