how to define a generic sourcetype regex for service status

Hi, I have a script which can pull the service status for each of the service,

I have defined it to be a common sourcetype,

LINBREAK - regex pattern

 

([\r\n]+)\w+\=\"\w+\"\,\w+\=\"\w+\"\,\w+\=\d\,\w+\=\"\w+\"

 

 

on the script it would output as below sample

 

service_name="XXXX",os_service="jboss",status_value=1,status="Running"

 

 

It was alright until I started monitoring microservices which breaks the above pattern on the os_service field

Sample output,

If you see the issue here, the os_service now has "-" in between and it varies for each of the sub services or os_service,. Is there any generic way to capture anything under os_service with a common regex

so if we pass any os_service name it would handle both the normal os_service as above in example and also be used for microservices os_service. 

 

service_name="Microservices",os_service="xx-xx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-application-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="buxx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xx-cuxxxxxx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxxx-organisation-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxxx-event-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="coxx-xxx-check-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-bxx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-pxxx-sanXXXXX-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-core-application-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-core-cuxxxxxx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-core-organisation-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-core-event-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-core-xxx-check-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="gateway-service",status_value=1,status="Running"
service_name="Microservices",os_service="xxx-bxx-service",status_value=1,status="Running"

Why LINEBREAKER cannot be as normally? Can you post sample of your raw log data?

@isoutamo . true the default line breaker should do the trick.

Have removed the pattern and left with the default line breaker now and looks to work perfectly. I did over complicate a simple solution. thanks
