Hi Community,

We have some issue with one of our cloud product and we need to collect our chrome browser log.

So we havea log file like this :

I made this props.conf but it's not correct in my search

My props.conf

[chrome:log]
LINE_BREAKER=^\[\d+.\d+:\d+\/\d+.
CHARSET=latin-1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
TIME_FORMAT=%m%d/%H%M%S.%3N
category=Miscellaneous
description=A common log format with a predefined timestamp. Customize timestamp in "Timestamp" options
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true
TIME_PREFIX=\[\d+.\d+

But in my search i have again 2 or more line by events (like this) :

alt text

Can you help me 🙂

Many Thanks

The LINE_BREAKER attribute requires a capture group. Also, I think the TIME_PREFIX setting doesn't match your events. Try these settings.

[chrome:log]
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)\[\d+.\d+:\d+\/\d+.
CHARSET=latin-1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
TIME_FORMAT=%m%d/%H%M%S.%3N
disabled=false
TIME_PREFIX=\[\d+:\d+:

Hi richgalloway

Thanks for your help this is perfect !!!

So another issue in my side was a permission on my Splunk TA folder, so it was not replicated to the indexer.

All is ok now
