Custom Splunk_TA_apache for new access log format

We have new apache access log and ssl access log format as follow:

ssl_access_log

test_server:18301 172.31.107.148 172.31.4.40 - - [08/Jan/2019:16:32:15 +0800] 2985 "GET /monitor/check.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 12 617 3011 "-" "check_http/v2.0.3 (nagios-plugins 2.0.3)" "-" "TLSv1.2" "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384"

access_log

test_server:18300 172.31.107.148 172.31.4.178 - - [08/Jan/2019:16:22:40 +0800] 2865 "GET /server-status HTTP/1.1" 200 16164 136 16451 "-" "libwww-perl/6.13" "-" "-" "-"

I would like know how to modifythe props.conf so that it can extract the correct fields. Our current configuration are as follow:


[apache:access:test_server]

pulldown_type = true

KV_MODE = none
