Hello,

We are using an Incapsula WAF and using a curl script to pull out the timestamps and security events. How do we parse this?

Assuming that your chosen sourcetype is Event_Incapsula in your incapsula Apps props.conf.

[Events_Incapsula]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^\[VisitID\=
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=100
TIME_PREFIX=(StartTime)\=
EXTRACT-RuleName = RuleName\=(?([^]]*))
*EXTRACT-ActionTaken = ActionTaken\=(?([^]]*))*

All the key value pairs should be created.
