Logstash grok pattern for [2017-08-19T12:47:43,822][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600} - logstash-grok

Can anyone give the logstash grok pattern for below lines. I want to take only timestamp alone.
[2017-08-19T12:47:43,822][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600}

I'm not sure to understand what you want but here are two possible solutions:
[%{GREEDYDATA:date1}][%{LOGLEVEL:debugLevel}][%{USERNAME:agentName}] %{GREEDYDATA:message} [%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date2}][%{LOGLEVEL:debugLevel2}][%{USERNAME:agentName2}] %{GREEDYDATA:message}
This grok pattern will extract all information that you have in your log, then you decide if you want to use date1 or date2 field
%{GREEDYDATA:trash}[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date}]%{GREEDYDATA:trash}
This one will only return the second date of your log
Hope it helped !

If you only need the timestamp, this should do:
\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date}\]
Results for your two loglines on https://grokconstructor.appspot.com:
If you want to match the whole pattern something like this may fit your needs:
\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date}\]\[%{LOGLEVEL:loglevel}\]\[%{GREEDYDATA:agent}\] %{GREEDYDATA:message}
Results:

Grok formatting for a custom timestamp

[04-21 12:57:04]
this is the timestamp generated by python written logs.
I hav tried
SYSLOGTIMESTAMP, DATESTAMP_EVENTLOG, DATESTAMP_RFC2822,TIMESTAMP_ISO8601
and many more. Can anyone please provide the correct grok format for this.
If not possible how can i use this as a timestamp
You can try these Groks:
\[(?<timestamp>%{MONTHNUM}-%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME})\]
or
\[(?<timestamp>[^\]]+)\]

logstash filter , unfiltered lines

I am new to Logstash filter and going through different blogs and links to understand in detail. I have few questions which are still unanswered.
. If my log file has different log pattern e.g.
2017-01-30 14:30:58 INFO ThreadName:33 - {"t":1485786658088,"h":"abcd1234", "l":"INFO", "cN":"org.logstash.demo", "mN":"getNextvalue", "m":"fetching next value"}
2017-01-30 14:30:58 INFO AnotherThread:33 -my log pattern is different
I have below filter which is successfully filtering line 1 of the log
grok
{
match => [ "message", "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:LogDate} %{LOGLEVEL:loglevel} %{WORD:threadName}:%{NUMBER:ThreadID} - %{GREEDYDATA:Line}" ]
}
json
{
source => "Line"
}
what will happen with the lines which can not be filtered using filter pattern?
Is there any way to capture all the lines which were not filtered and send to elasticSearch ?
Is there any good reading material where I can read about Input, Filter, Output plugins with the examples ?
To answer your questions:
The lines which cannot be filtered using grok would end up in a
grok_parsefailure. Make sure you handle it by dropping the lines
which don't actually match the filter criteria.
As far as I know you can't capture them separately and push it to ES. Maybe for this, you can have multiple grok patterns so that you can filter it out and send it to different ES indices thereafter.
I've added the links in the comment above.
This SO could come in handy. Hope it helps!
As #darth_vader points out, you'll get a "grok_parsefailure" tag on each document that doesn't match your pattern(s) in a grok{} filter. However, how you handle this failure is up to you.
By default, all the events will fall through to your output{} section, which presumably would send them to elasticsearch. You could also have a conditional output{} section, which sent parsed logs to one output and unparsed logs to another (a file{} output, or a different index, or...).
As for examples, the official doc tends to include incomplete fragments (at best), so you're probably going to find better examples in random internet blogs.

GROK Pattern filtering

Hi I am new to logstash and grok filtering, I have a sample log like this:
1/11/2017 12:00:17 AM :
Error thrown is:
No Error
Request sent is:
webMethod:GetOSSUpdatedOrderHeader|appCode:OSS|regionCode:EMEA|orderKeyList:|lastModifedDateTime:1/10/2017 11:59:13 PM|
I want to filter out the line separator which is a line full of ** (the last line)
Also when I want to be able to capture entire line including ":" in one field. For example in the above log, webMethod:GetOSSUpdatedOrderHeader has to be captured in one field in my grok pattern. Is there a way to achieve this?? TIA. Please refer the attached image for the sample log message
A few tips:
Photos of logs are not a good way to offer someone an example, copy and paste the log
The Grok Debugger is a great way of building your own grok patterns
This should work for the sample log line you pasted in:
%{NOTSPACE:webMethod}\|%{NOTSPACE:appCode}\|%{NOTSPACE:regionCode}\|%{NOTSPACE:orderKeyList}\|%{NOTSPACE:lastModifedDateTime}
However, what you requested, probably isn't quite what you want, as you just want the field content in the result, not the name of the field as well. This should give you more sensible results:
webMethod:%{NOTSPACE:webMethod}\|appCode:%{NOTSPACE:appCode}\|regionCode:%{NOTSPACE:regionCode}\|orderKeyList:(?:%{NOTSPACE:orderKeyList}|)\|lastModifedDateTime:%{NOTSPACE:lastModifedDateTime}
You would then want to process the lastModifedDateTime field with the date filter to get the date stamp in a format logstash can save to.

Parsing postfix events with grok

I'm trying to figure out how it works logstash and grok to parse messages. I have found that example ftp://ftp.linux-magazine.com/pub/listings/magazine/185/ELKstack/configfiles/etc_logstash/conf.d/5003-postfix-filter.conf
which start like this:
filter {
# grok log lines by program name (listed alpabetically)
if [program] =~ /^postfix.*\/anvil$/ {
grok{...
But don't understand where [program] is parsed. I'm using logstash 2.2
That example are not working in my logstash installation, nothing is parsed.
I answer myself.
The example assumes that the events come from syslog (in that case the field "program" are present), instead filebeats which is what I'm using to send the events to logstash.
To fix-it:

Logstash Custom match patterns

We are in the process of capturing the logstash
2016-01-07 13:12:36,718 82745269 [http-nio-10180-exec-609] 8ca2b394-f435-4376-9a16-8be44ad437b9 - entry:"dummy-AS-1.1"
we are having logs like this,We want how to match the messages .Once matched we want to remove 82745269 and [http-nio-10180-exec-609].Pls help
How do you match them? With the grok filter.
How do you make a grok pattern? Slowly, using the debugger.
Maybe an introduction would help.
