Hi Team,

We have ingested the NSG flow logs from azure and few events are not breaking the events properly, could you please help me to write the LINE_BREAKER rule for below events.

Sample events:

"time":"2018-05-30T16:07:43.6682050Z","systemId":"","category":"NetworkSecurityGroupFlowEvent","12000,T,O,A"]}]}]}{"time":"2018-05-30T16:06:43.6499999Z","systemId":"","category":"NetworkSecurityGroupFlowEvent","resourceId":"/,T,O,A"]}]}]}{"time":"2018-05-30T16:06:43.6499999Z","systemId":"","category":"NetworkSecurityGroupFlowEvent","resourceId":"/,T,O,A"]}]}]}

LINE_BREAKER=?

@lksridhar, can you try with this?

LINE_BREAKER=(]}]}]})
TIME_PREFIX="time":
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=29

@niketnilay, no your 29 is correct, I wasn't looking at timezone. Was more focused on the line break actually.

I came to same conclusion as @niketn
I tested it out and here is the props.conf that works:

[test_line_break]
DATETIME_CONFIG =
LINE_BREAKER = (]}]}]})
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 27
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
TIME_PREFIX = time
category = Custom
disabled = false
pulldown_type = true

@dpetracca I had MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD as 29 to extract even the timezone. Are you planning to apply TIMESTAMP_FORMAT %6N and stop Timestamp extraction?
