Hi Christian Thanks a lot for the blogs.

Can you please check : [Logstash to parse only part of apache log file](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-to-parse-only-part-of-apache-log-file/161682)

Just want to know using logstash if we can parse only part of apache log file. More details are in the post.

Thanks
