Custom grok pattern failure with forwardslashes

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

About 1/400 log entries I'm feeding logstash will have a forwardslash "/" in it. How do I account for that and prevent a grok failure?

That obviously depends on the data and the grok expression you use.

Field is being matched with %{DATA:incident_type}. Most are plain text, but some of the data has a forwardslash.

Examples:
THIS INCIDENT TYPE
THAT INCIDENT TYPE
ANOTHER INCIDENT TYPE
THIS/THAT INCIDENT TYPE <--doesn't match and throws grok failure.

DATA matches forward slashes. What does the full grok expression and a complete line of input look like?

I found the problem, not related to slashes. Content was changed on the server side. I was using BASE10NUM for a field in the grok pattern the content now possibly includes characters and numbers. I switched it to DATA and all is well. Thanks!
