I am getting a string ".." in the logs and would like to split this using grok pattern. is there any method to do so ?  
example:  
input log string : java-app.ABCD.win-service-test  
Output should be  
app\_name: java-app  
org\_name: ABCD  
service\_name: win-service-test

Hey @Mohanraj, is your question in regard to the grok filter plugin in Logstash? If so, I can move this topic over to the Logstash section.

```
grok { match => { "message" => "(?<app_name>[^.]*)\.(?<org_name>[^.]*)\.(?<service_name>[^.]*)" } }

```

would do it.
