Extract specific line from java stack trace

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

hi everyone,

what i need to do is to extract from a java stack trace a specific line using the elk stack.
What i have, as example, is the exception below and in kibana I want to have only the line starting with com.host.financial.plat.system.end.processor******* . At the moment, with the multiline options I'm able to take the whole exception stack trace but only one line is what i need (if it's possible).

You might be able to do it by combining all the lines of the trace with a multiline codec (I think the documentation has an example involving a Java stack trace), then use mutate+split to turn that into an array of lines, then use mutate+add_field to extract the last but one entry.
