Getting Data In

props.conf help

Hi,

I have a multi-line feed that I'm having problems with - hoping someone can help me. Here's my props.conf:

MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 30
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TRUNCATE = 999999
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d{4}\s\w{2}\s\d{2}

And, here's some sample data. The break is not occurring on the lines properly. Pretty sure my LINE_BREAKER is wrong. On a side note, if I just let splunk do the work, everything is wonderful, but this is not how we want to eng our systems. Is there any way to tell what splunk is applying for timestamps when you don't specify a props.conf?

Hello,
The below would actually be appropriate in your case.

NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
TRUNCATE = 0
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = true

OR

NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
TRUNCATE = 0
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE =\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}

Thanks,
L

Your second LINE_BREAKER string should do it. If not, try '([\r\n]+)(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)'

Oh, maybe...?

MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 30
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TRUNCATE = 999999
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}
