I have a set of web servers with an inconsistent logging configuration. I've been unable to come up with a single monitor stanza to cover the following requirements:
Input Paths
/usr/local2/webapps/brt/logs/access.log
/usr/local2/webapps/admin/conf/ssl/logs/access_log
/usr/local2/webapps/admin/logs/access.log
There are other filename patterns in these directories that I do not want to index:
<path>/access.log-2020-06-13-1592036161
<path>/access.log-2020-06-13-1592036161.gz
It seems I can pull everything in correctly with two [monitor] stanzas:
[monitor:///usr/local2/webapps/v-*/.../logs/access*]
index = web
sourcetype = access_combined
crcSalt = <SOURCE>
whitelist = access[\._]log$
[monitor:///usr/local2/webapps/v-*/logs/access*]
index = web
sourcetype = access_combined
crcSalt = <SOURCE>
whitelist = access[\._]log$
For my own education, I'm trying to produce a more simplistic input stanza by collapsing them into a single stanza and getting rid of the whitelist. So far I've been unsuccessful, it seems mostly due to the behavior of the ... and * wildcards.
Is there a way to combine and simplify those two inputs into one?
