Currently using NLS 1.4.4 (yes, I know I should upgrade)

I have a log coming in from an application. I'll include a sample of the log and what I am looking for. I want to create an alert based on several items and be able to include some of them in the email alert. Problem is, they come into the system one line at a time. Is there a way I can capture these and have them be included into one line to parse and pull needed info from?

If the "DoesNotExist: No assets match query " and the "ERROR: <Response [500]> are there I need all the info between the "INFO:" lines and grab things like AssocBill number and filename.

Thanks.

The multiline codec can be used to merge multiple lines into a single event. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... iline.html has an example:

Code: Select all

    codec => multiline {
      # Grok pattern names are valid! :)
      pattern => "^%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601} "
      negate => true
      what => previous
    }

This should merge the lines:

Code: Select all

2018-01-09 16:13:59,392 __main__ ERROR: ---TRACEBACK RETURNED FROM SERVER---:

A couple more specific examples can be found at:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... g-546.html
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... g-727.html

Getting the last INFO line to merge with the above ERRORs may be doable but tricky and unnecessary. Let me know if it's completely needed though and I can poke around if so.

Once the data is merged the desired way, it should be pretty straight forward to pull out specific fields with grok filters. Check out the "Understanding Logstash" and specifically the example section at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... ew-98.html for steps to create grok filters.

Thanks, no I guess I worded it wrong. I really don't need anything out of the INFO line, just that is where I know the start of what I need, up to the next INFO line. Only most of the data inbetween them. I'll give that a try.

Sound good! Keep us posted!

Still playing with this. Will report back what I get out of it.

Sure. We will keep the post open.
