Hi Team,

I am trying to parse the below log entries using Grok.

```auto
<158>Dec 03 04:50:03 AB-AWSA-01.abcd.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com SIEMAccessLogs: Info: 10.0.0.1 "abcd\abcd@abcd.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com" - [03/Dec/2020:04:50:01 +0000] "TCP_CONNECT 13.110.3.230:443" 200 760 TCP_MISS:DIRECT 187 PASSTHRU_CUSTOMCAT_7-WhiteList-WhiteList.IdProfile-WhitelistExclusion-NONE-NONE-DefaultGroup-NONE <"C_Whit",-,-,"-",-,-,-,-,"-",-,-,-,"-",-,-,"-","-",-,-,"-",-,"-","-","-","-","-","-","-",32.51,0,-,"-","-",-,"-",-,-,"-","-",-,-,"-",-> -

I am using the below config to parse. The pattern works in Grok debugger, but not getting parsed with Logstash. Kindly help.

```auto
input {
  file {
   path => "/home/elk_user/sample/wsa_sample.log"
   start_position => "beginning"
   sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
  }
}
filter {
    grok {
      match => {"message" => "<.* %{IPORHOST:host} (?<Facility>[^\d]*) %{IPORHOST:source_ip} (\"(?<domain>[^\"][^\\]*)\\(?<user>[^@]*)@.*\"|(?<domain>[-])) .* \[%{HTTPDATE:date}\] \"%{WORD:command} ((%{IPORHOST:destination_ip}:%{POSINT:destination_port})|(?<url>[^\"]*))\" %{NUMBER:response_code} .* (?<query_response>[^:]*):.* (?:\d*) (?<category>[^-]*)-%{GREEDYDATA:policy_name}-(?:.*)-(?:.*)-(?:.*)-(?:.*) < "}
      add_tag => ["got_wsa", "parse_done"]
      tag_on_failure => ["_defaultparse"]
      remove_field => ["message"]
    }
}
output {
  elasticsearch { 
  hosts => ["localhost:9200"] 
  index => "wsa-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}

```
