Hello Guys,

Below is my initial event and i want to break each from the staring of this event. As i tried various attributes in props.conf but no luck to break the event from this line.

I used as of now:

LINE_BREAKER = ^\*{22}\n\w+\s\w+\s\w+\sstart\n\Start\stime\:\s\d{14}

TIME_PREFIX = ^\*{22}\n\w+\s\w+\s\w+\sstart\n\Start\stime\:\s

TIME_FORMAT= %Y%m%d%H%M%S

Please suggest me what i did wrong in above props.

@manjunathmeti They suggested, use the add-on which they created and i am able to use Add-on directly in my environment. Is there any other approach to break the lines .

 

SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
LINE_BREAKER=^[*]+\n[A-Za-z]+\s[A-Za-z]+\s[A-Za-z]+\s[A-Za-z]+\nStart\stime\:\s\d{14}
CHARSET=UTF-8
TIME_FORMAT=%Y%m%d%H%M%S

 

Still it is not breaking

hi @uagraw01,

The regex configured forLINE_BREAKER must contain a capturing group. Also, set SHOULD_LINEMERGE to false. Restart forwarder once you add these configurations in props.conf.

LINE_BREAKER = (\*{22}\n)
TIME_PREFIX = \Start\stime\:\s
TIME_FORMAT= %Y%m%d%H%M%S
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

  

If this reply helps you, a like would be appreciated.

Try this:

LINE_BREAKER = (\*{22}\n\w+\s\w+\s\w+\sstart\n)

Note that this will not add the below lines to your events:
