Hi,

Is it possible to create own / virtual events in logstash?  
I intent to do the following:

1. I receive following log line:  
timestamp, value\_1, value\_2, value\_3

2. now I want to create 3 events out of it:  
Code: Select all1. @timestamp = timestamp  
value = value\_1

3. @timestamp = timestamp  
value = value\_2

4. @timestamp = timestamp  
value = value\_3

Thanks, Andreas

Have a look at the clone filter.
