Hi ,
am trying to write Props /Transforms for the Nginx costume error logs . but they are not working here is my props and transforms.

Props.conf
[nginx:plus:apierror]
REPORT-systemoutlogs = event_extract

[nginx:plus:apperror]
REPORT-systemoutlogs = event_extract

[nginx:plus:ps2error]
REPORT-systemoutlogs = event_extract

[nginx:plus:nginxerror]
REPORT-systemoutlogs = event_extract

And i write the transforms.conf for all the sourcestypes as same:

[event_extract]
REGEX = (^(?P<date>\\d+/\\d+/\\d+\\s+\\d+:\\d+:\\d+)\\s+\\[\\w+\\]\\s+(?P<error>[^,]+),\\s+\\w+:\\s+(?P<client>[^,]+)(?:[^ \\n]* ){4}\"(?P<request>[^\"]+)[^,\\n]*,\\s+\\w+:\\s+\"(?P<upstream>[^\"]+)(?:[^ \\n]* ){2}\"(?P<hostname>[^\"]+))

And my log was looking like:

2017/05/18 16:50:34 [error] 28709#28709: *34 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client:192.168.128.17, server: , request: "GET /api/slot2/v1/idCards HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:6001/api/slot2/v1/idCards", host: "d-servicing.qa.JPMC.com"

Hello,
The regex just need some tuning, event_extract in transforms.conf should be like that

[event_extract]
REGEX = ^(?P\d+\/\d+\/\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+)\s+\[\w+\]\s+(?P[^,]+),\s+\w+:(?P[^,]+)(?:[^ \n]* ){4}\"(?P[^\"]+)[^,\n]*,\s+\w+:\s+\"(?P[^\"]+)(?:[^ \n]* ){2}\"(?P[^\"]+)

Hi svemurilv,

Have you tried ingesting Nginx logs using the Splunk Add-onf or Ngix? If not, I suggest you take advantage of the predefined sourcetypes provided by the add-on.

Hope this helps. Thanks!
Hunter

Hi ,
here we are not letting nginx to write the default error logs. did some customization to in the code while generating error logs that's why default conf are not working logs for the Nginx
