Getting Data In

Help with LINE_BREAKING

hI,

I have a file that appears to break correctly in the data preview, but after I index it, it's not appearing correctly. (All on a stand-alone server).

The file is this:

[INFO] Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started
[INFO] Refreshing Root WebApplicationContext: startup date [Fri Oct 16 10:49:27 EDT 2015]; root of context hierarchy

My props is:

set by detected source type

ANNOTATE_PUNCT=false
DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
KV_MODE = auto
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)([ERROR]|[INFO]|[DEBUG])
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=150
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
pulldown_type=1

When I preview it, it looks fine, but once I index it, it breaks very strangely. Any suggestions?

Hi,

The events in the example are correct? I see that not all of them have time stamp.

You sould identifie when start and ends a event and what timestamp do you want to setup.

Regards,

Use this props.conf configuration

DATETIME_CONFIG=CURRENT
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)(\[ERROR\]|\[INFO\]|\[DEBUG\])\s+

Tweak: LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)\[(ERROR|INFO|DEBUG)\]\s+
I think that does the same but might be easier to read.

They don't have a timestamp, so I'm using the DATETIME_CONFIG statement and I want it to break on [INFO], [ERROR], [DEBUG] at the beginning of any line.
