Hi Team,

I have one requirement.

I have raw logs as shown below:

2021-02-12 09:22:32,936 INFO [ Web -4092] AuthenticationFilter Attempting request for (<asriva22><lgposputb500910.ghp.bcp.com><CN=lgposputb50010.ghp.aexp.com, OU=Middleware Utilities, O=ABC  Company, L=Phoenix, ST=Arizona

 

2021-02-12 09:22:38,689 INFO [ Web -4099] o.a.n.w.s.AuthenticationFilter Authentication success for smennen

 

2021-02-12 08:45:05,277 INFO [Web -3253] o.a.n.w.s.AuthenticationFilter Attempting request for (<JWT token>) GET https://ebac/api/flow/controller/bulletins

I want to remove highlighted time from the logs.

How can I do that.

Thanks in Advance

| rex mode=sed "s/.*?,[0-9]+ //"

Try som like this (non greedy to stop after first , with number behind)

It will not only be INFO it could be ERROR as well in raw logs

Can you help me with the regex.

Thanks in advance.

Either of these are valid

| rex mode=sed "s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* //"
| rex mode=sed "s/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2},\d+ //"

 be careful using .* as it will be greedy, so if you have a matching pattern at the end of the data, you will lose the line up to that point.

First is just delineating by the date/time which have trailing spaces and the second is stricter in matching the date/time format as shown.
