Getting Data In

Has anyone had props.conf and transforms.conf to work properly for Bluecoat 6.7.4.3 log formatting?

We use Splunk Bluecoat-TA but many fields are missing.    They have not changed log format.  But it seems they changed log format.   

The sample log is 

 

Sep 18 15:25:44 2020-09-18 07:25:41 4115 10.X.X.X 200 TCP_TUNNELED 6569 1787 CONNECT tcp sy.abc.net 443 / - abc2323 LOCAL1\ACC124 - 172.X.X.X - - “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.87 Safari/537.36” OBSERVED "MyShopWhitelist;LivePe;ProjectA_URL;docsApproveURLs;ABC_GBB_GGG;Business/Econony” - 172.X.X.X 0#015

yea I found the TA and associated regex overly complicated. Plus BC added a few fields in main log in v6.7. I ended up re-writing the regex and it works fine for us. It is based on the default 'main' log. We did end up create a explicit log format on the proxy and just copied the main format to it. This ensures that the log format wont change after upgrades

[auto_kv_for_bluecoat_v6_7_x]
Regex = ^(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\".*?\"|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)\s+(\S+|\-)$
