I use Grok filter in Logstash to break one long message into several fields.
The example Message: http://localhost:8080/MRLService/api/v1/reportNotes 11-24-2016 10:59:49 8ms country=AUS pesticide=ABA3000
filter: filter {
grok {match => {"log4j2_message" => "%{URIPATH:url} %{DATESTAMP:startTime} %{NUMBER:timeTaken}ms %{GREEDYDATA:parameters}"}}
}
it is working fine except the timetaken (8) is string type instead of number type I supposed,
Could anyone please tell how to make the timetaken field as number in Logstash?
Thanks,
Sean
The last is the type
{NUMBER:timeTaken:int}
or just convert the filed to int or float (not suggest due to this will lower performance then the first method)
mutate {
convert => [ "[geoip][coordinates]", "float"]
}

Hi I have the above format for which I was trying to write grok pattern to seperate date, time, and AM/PM , Please help. I was using below pattern but still don't see the proper out put when create the index.
grok {
match => {
"message" => "%{MONTHDAY}/%{MONTHNUM}/%{YEAR}[T ]%{HOUR}:?%{MINUTE}(?::?%{SECOND})?%{ISO8601_TIMEZONE}?"
}
}
The first number is a month and the second is the day, since it's above 12. So you'll have to switch %{MONTHDAY} & %{MONTHNUM} like this:
"%{MONTHNUM}/%{MONTHDAY}/%{YEAR}[T ]%{HOUR}:?%{MINUTE}(?::?%{SECOND})?%{ISO8601_TIMEZONE}?"
Been banging my head against the wall over this - started out with logstash and Grok 2 days ago and made a bit of progress but i've been stuck looking at this particular problem all evening.
I have the following lines of input from a log file being ingested into logstash.
'John Pence ':'decrease':-0.01:-1.03093: 0.96: 0.97
'Dave Pound':'increase':0.04:1.04000: 0.97: 0.93
With the following grok filter matches:
match => { "message" => "%{QS:name}:%{QS:activity}:%{BASE16FLOAT:Change}:%{BASE16FLOAT:Percentage}: %{BASE16FLOAT:CurrentPrice}: %{BASE16FLOAT:PreviousPrice}" }
match => { "message" => "%{QS:Name}:%{QS:Activity}:-%{BASE16FLOAT:Change}:-%{BASE16FLOAT:Percentage}: %{BASE16FLOAT:CurrentPrice}: %{BASE16FLOAT:PreviousPrice}" }
This produces the following output in Kibana:
As you can see - I can't get the negative numbers to display correctly, how would one correctly show the minus sign in a grok filter?
Would greatly appreciate some help!
You can simply use the NUMBER grok pattern instead of BASE16FLOAT
The following grok pattern works perfectly on your input:
grok {
"match" => {"message" => "%{QS:name}:%{QS:activity}:%{NUMBER:Change}:%{NUMBER:Percentage}: %{NUMBER:CurrentPrice}: %{NUMBER:PreviousPrice}"}
}
I want to parse logfile with logstash which contains both single line and multiple line. [e.g first 2 lines with 1 line log entry whereas 3rd one has multiple line entry ]
ERROR - 2015-12-05 20:48:53 --> Could not find page
ERROR - 2015-12-05 20:48:53 --> Could not find VAR
ERROR - 2015-12-05 20:48:59 --> Array
(
[id] => 12344
[studentid] => 33
[fname] =>
[lname] =>
[address] => tokyo
)
This log entry is forwarded from client (logstatsh-forwarder) which sets type as "multilineclient"
filter{
if [type] == "multilineclient" {
multiline {
pattern => "^ERROR"
what => "previous"
}
grok{
match => {"message" => "%{LOGLEVEL:loglevel}\s+%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}\s+%{DATA:message}({({[^}]+},?\s*)*})?\s*$(?<stacktrace>(?m:.*))?"}
}
mutate {
remove => [ "#loglevel" ]
}
}
}
I did try both Grok Debugger and grok constructer (but couldn't quite solve issue with LOGLEVEL being start of logfile ),
My multiline logs (array) are parsed as separate message.
message: [id] =>
message: [studentid] =>
message: [fname] =>
I was expecting this to come as single "message:"
Any suggestion?
The first step is to get multiline{} (codec or filter) working properly. When it does, you should end up with three documents based on your example.
Your multiline construct can be read as "when I find a line that begins with ERROR, keep it with the previous", which I don't think is what you want. Sounds like you should add the 'negate' option.
If that solves the multiline problem, then you should run one grok{} to pull the common stuff off the front (level, date, time). A second grok{} could then separate all the fields inside the parens from the rest. The data inside the parens could probably be fed to the kv{} ("key value") filter to produce fields from the key/value pairs.
I am trying to take log data from a custom application that has a well defined format. I am trying to pick out certain pieces of the data using the grok filter, but I am not having any luck. Here is a sample log:
- System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Arithmetic overflow error converting IDENTITY to data type int.
Arithmetic overflow occurred.
What I would like to do is extract out the SqlException out of the string. Here is the grok that I am using:
grok{
match =>
{
"message" =>
[
"(?m)%{DATE:TIMESTAMP_DATE}%{SPACE}%{TIME:TIMESTAMP_TIME}%{SPACE}%{WORD:LOG_LEVEL}%{SPACE}(?<THREAD>[^\s]+)%{SPACE}(?<HOST>[^\s]+)%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:MESSAGE}",
"(?<EXCEPTION>[.*]+)"
]
}
}
I have tried several different ways, but I guess I am not completely understanding the documentation. What I would expect to happen is all of the fields that I have extracts in the first set would include the result of the second set. In other words:
TIMESTAMP_DATE,TIMESTAMP_TIME,LOG_LEVEL,THREAD,HOST,MESSAGE,EXCEPTION
I am getting the other fields perfectly, it is just additional matching that I am missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you specify multiple patterns grok by default only looks checks the patterns until the first match is encountered. If you want to match against both patterns regardless of whether the first one matched or not you can change the behaviour like that:
grok{
break_on_match => false
match =>
{
"message" =>
[
"(?m)%{DATE:TIMESTAMP_DATE}%{SPACE}%{TIME:TIMESTAMP_TIME}%{SPACE}%{WORD:LOG_LEVEL}%{SPACE}(?<THREAD>[^\s]+)%{SPACE}(?<HOST>[^\s]+)%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:MESSAGE}",
"(?<EXCEPTION>[.*]+)"
]
}
}

setting up ELK is very easy until you hit the logstash filter. I have a log delimited 10 fields. I may have some field blank but I am sure there will be 10 fields:
7/5/2015 10:10:18 AM|KDCVISH01|
|ClassNameUnavailable:MethodNameUnavailable|CustomerView|xwz261|ef315792-5c41-4bdf-aa66-73317e82e4d6|52|6182d1a1-7916-4874-995b-bc9a23437dab|<Exception>

Q:
1- I am confused how grok or regex pattern will pick only the field that I am looking and not the similar match from another field. For example, what is the guarantee that DATESTAMP pattern picks only the first value and not the timestamp present in the last field (buried in stack trace)?
2- Is there a way to define positional mapping? For example, 1st fiels is dateTime, 2nd is machine name, 3rd is class name and so on. This will make sure I have fields displayed in Kibana no matter the field value is present or not.
I know i am little late, But here is a simple solution which i am using,
replace your | with space
option 1:
filter {
mutate {
gsub => ["message","\|"," "]
}
grok {
match => ["message","%{DATESTAMP:time} %{WORD:MESSAGE1} %{WORD:EXCEPTION} %{WORD:MESSAGE2}"]
}
}
option 2: excepting |
filter {
grok {
match => ["message","%{DATESTAMP:time}\|%{WORD:MESSAGE1}\|%{WORD:EXCEPTION}\|%{WORD:MESSAGE2}"]
}
}
it is working fine : http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/. check here.
