There is a threat log with 2 sub_types (url and vulnerability) and sample data are as below.

Both events have different set of fields. If the sub_type is url, one set of field extraction should happen, if the sub_type is vulnerability, second set of field extraction should happen. The requirement is to combine both the sub_types under same sourcetype "threat". Is it possible to do so ?

props.conf

 

[threat]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)
EXTRACT-log_st=(?:THREAT,)(?<sub_type>.*?),

EVAL-extract_threat=case(sub_type="url", "extract_url", sub_type="vulnerability" ,"extract_vulnerability")

REPORT-search = "Is it possible to pass extract_url or extract_vulnerability based on the event ?"

 

transforms.conf

[extract_url]
DELIMS = ","
FIELDS = URL_field1,url_field2...

 

[extract_vulnerability]

DELIMS = ","
FIELDS = vul_field1,vul_field2....
