I'm trying to import nginx logs into ES, i'm using this patterns  
`NGUSERNAME [a-zA-Z\.\@\-\+_%]+ NGUSER %{NGUSERNAME} NGINXACCESS %{IPORHOST:clientip} - %{NOTSPACE:remote_user} \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\] \"(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion})?|%{DATA:rawrequest})\" %{NUMBER:response} (?:%{NUMBER:bytes}|-) %{QS:referrer} %{QS:agent} %{NOTSPACE:http_x_forwarded_for}`

all logs were successfully imported, here is a screenshot in kibana

but when I test my pattern , the result is

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/a/a6ef9fe12ed02f6a36f48124f9cef6010dcf1432.png)

why I did not get all the fields? like clientip, agent? in kibana there is a message field, without clientip field I can not analyze the ip count

here is the grok in logstash config file, :

```
filter {
if [type] == "nginx-access"{
grok {
    match => { "message" => "%{NGINXACCESS}" }
}
date {
    match => ["timestamp" , "dd/MMM/YYYY:HH:mm:ss Z"]
}
geoip {
    source => "clientip"
}
}
}

```

hope someone can help me look it to it Thank you

Your actual log entry ends with a user agent string but that's not what your grok pattern ends with. You won't get any fields unless you get a match. This is different from wherever you tested your pattern, where apparently all matched fields are shown even though the expression as a whole didn't match. That site also tells you "NOT MATCHED".
