Getting web logs converted in CEF format in Kibana - logstash-grok

I have application logs in the below given format which i am indexing in elasticsearch. Now i want to get these logs into kibana in the CEF format. Is there any way to convert these logs into CEF format in kibana using the logstash filter?
Actual logs :
Feb 16 17 12:53:46,174 ERROR net.sourceforge.stripes.tag.FormTag -
Could not locate an ActionBean that was bound to the URL
[/admin/Home.action]. Without an ActionBean class Stripes cannot
determine whether the ActionBean is a wizard or not. As a result
wizard behaviour will be disabled.
CEF format in which i wish to get the logs in Kibana:
CEF:Version|Device Vendor|Device Product|Device Version|Signature
ID|Name|Severity|Extension.
A quick help is highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Shantanu.

SSRS Excel Exports fails when date falls in certain range

A couple of reports on our server have had failed subscriptions recently; the queries run fine, render in the browser fine and some combinations of parameters that filter the data down still deliver fine.
A subscription has failed to send and after looking into it it's actually the export to excel (other export formats work, including csv) that fails:
Reporting Services Error For more information about this error
navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable
remote errors
I've made a copy of the report and kept filtering it down until I've isolated the specific record and field that are causing the issue, it appears to be an incorrectly entered date:
01/10/0022
Obviously it should be 2022 and it would be better if the data was correct from the start but we don't have control over that. Taking the column that date is in out of the report and then trying to export, it works, adding it back in and it fails again. I know we've had examples like the above before in the data as some other reports were written using DATETIME instead of DATETIME2 fields causing the report generation itself to fail, fixing those reports and running their respective subscriptions again worked so I'm assuming something must have changed on our report server instance that's now causing the export to fail here.
Has anyone come across this before and know what would be causing the export to fail just based on this date value?

Preview transformation in vscode using javascript/typescript

We are consuming apis returning json in our projects. The json from those api can contain rather large structures which need to be mapped into other large structures (usually json but could be xml or csv rarely).
We used to use dataweave (from Mulesoft) to do that, and if you're not familiar with dataweave, it's pretty good at that sort of mapping. It let's you define a sample input, and while editing the dataweave it shows you a preview of the result in a separate pane.
For some apis we switched to using nodejs (because it offers better control and debugging than Mule, long story). But I'd really like the same mapping experience as dataweave.
So I guess the question is: can I use vscode to define an input file in a directory, a transformation file in javascript and have the resulting mapped output display in a pane which is updated live?
Is there some plugin offering that? Couldn't find it.
My understanding is the following:
You have a mule workflow which needs to read a file(you edited the file in vscode) and execute a server side javascript (nodjs) to transform the file and after the result is obtained, the mapped result will be pushed into a web page ? right ?
All happen under a given mule workflow right? and you are wondering there is any mule connector to do this process ? right ?

How to have node convert `.emf` to `.jpg` (or anything I can place on a webpage)

Stuck in this weird situation at work. I have .doc files I'm parsing with Node.JS. They have photos in them that are .emf I want to display in my web app. I have no issue getting the emf file out of the word doc, but I can't figure out how to display it on a webpage. Simply embedding as is didn't work. I tried to find a utility to convert them automatically but with no luck. I thought of converting them myself but can't find any tecnhical info on the .emf file.
Any suggestions?
EMF (WMF) are the SVG like formats of the 1990's.
I can't give you the full solution in this space but checkout this thread that uses Apache Batik
If you don't want to build it yourself perhaps try the paid version of converters
If you can't afford I would recommend to host the Batik and make a service endpoint and make calls to generate the desired format from EMF. It may turn out actually faster.

Chainsaw and plaintext log4j

I am trying to learn how to use Chainsaw. I have a text log4j file in SystemOut.log with rolling files. I set the file URL in a file pattern receiver to file:///C:/AppDev/prodlogs/SystemOut.log which is where I copied production logs to. The pattern is [TIMESTAMP] THREAD * LEVEL [*] (FILE:LINE) - MESSAGE. Timestamp format is MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS EDT.
Yet, when I set all of this. Nothing happens. No tabs pop up, even if I restart the receiver or try to manually use the File->Load Log4j File menu. No errors pop up or anything. Just...nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't really know why it doesn't work, yet it's been a while now that Chainsaw didn't receive any update: the last version v1.99.99 was built in 2006.
I would recommend using something like LogMX (or some of its clones) instead. You simply have to put your Log4j pattern (or any other pattern) in its configuration (i.e. new "Parser") to be able to parse, view, filter, search, monitor in real-time, ... (don't need to purchase a license, the free version already does more than Chainsaw in my opinion).
Try the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw, available at http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy
There are a lot of new features in the developer snapshot.
Are you using a pattern layout? I assume so. Chainsaw has built-in support for log4j's pattern layout.
Select 'process a log file' from the 'Load Chainsaw configuration' menu item.
specify the log file URL
change the 'log file format type' to PatternLayout
specify the pattern layout
specify the timestamp format
Choose the 'always start Chainsaw with this configuration' or just save the configuration off as an xml file so you can use it later from this same dialog (just select the 'Use a chainsaw config file' option if you reload this config.
If you still have problems, feel free to include a few lines of your log file.

Not printing Images to paper from Print preview from report Viewer using crystal reports

I am using SAP crystal reports for Visual studio 2010 in my application. In one of my report I have used images. I am getting image including data in my print preview in report viewer. And also I am able to take prints with data and Images in my environment. But in client place they are telling for some prints the image portion is not getting printed. I am unable to get the exact reason from my searches in internet. So If anybody has faced similar issue please be kind to help me out of this.
The picture is of IOEobject and is placed in designer by selecting the file in design time.
Is it because of the any of the reasons given below
I have scaled the actual Image to X : 44% & Y : 44%.
Due to the image format.
Or due to the printer configuration in the clients' environment.
I would start by assuming the problem is the picture they are printing.
The answer to your problem is likely proper troubleshooting:
Can they replicate the issue with 100% accuracy (meaning, is it refusing to print a specific image)?
If so, get the image and verify that it is supported. A quick Google shows gifs are not supported.
Try to print the same image yourself and see if it works?
Verify printer drivers etc.
