Hello All,

We have the Apache access.log and am not able to parse it, first i used the "access_combined_wcookie" standard sourcetype but it wont work and am tried the tranforms.conf and props.conf file its parsing all filed except Cookies because it has the multiple value and my delimiter is Space( ).

%t %T %O %I %{X-Forwarded-For} %a %A %u %m %s \"%r\" %U %q \"%{User-Agent}i\" Cookies cs_referer 

Could you please help me on this?

Thanks in advance

It appears you have "custom" apache logs. Please post an example of your apache access logs so we can help you.
