Hi ,

What is the complete error message?

[2020-06-23T06:48:31,556][INFO ][logstash.agent ] Successfully started
Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600}
[2020-06-23T06:48:35,596][ERROR][logstash.filters.ruby ] Ruby exception occur
red: too few arguments

Is there no stacktrace?

no , I am guessing some issue in my message parsing incase if \t in my grok pattern causing the exception ? Not sure though but its coming from filter block of code

The problem is not in the grok filter, it is in one of the ruby filters. I would try commenting them all out then adding them back one at a time to see which one results in an exception.

Ok will give it a try and let u know

started commenting out all ruby blocks one by one , got exception when this part of Ruby code was included :

#convert ipv4 => ip long
ruby {
init => "require 'ipaddr'"
code => 'event.set("source_ipv4",event.get("source_ipv4").strip.split(".").map(&:to_i).pack("CCCC").unpack("N")[0])'
}

FYI , I had not ot any execption in my local but I do get this exception on our stage servers . Kindly help as I am completely new to this area

What do you expect that to do?

not sure , we were just given a template to add our details for logging and compliance . Not sure what it does , it can be ignored if not needed.

Seems like our server is having ipV6 so its not working any replacement code for ipv6 will work

Code like

event.get("source_ipv4").strip.split(".").map { |x| x.to_i }.pack("CCCC").unpack("N")

will take apart the 4 octets of an IPv4 address and then pack them into a 32-bit number. IPv4 addresses are 32-bits, so this is a good fit.

IPv6 addresses are 128-bits. How do expect to represent that as a number?
