I have this logstash filter I'm struggling with. Right now it comes out like this in rubydebug:
{
"type" =\> "log",
"host" =\> "CY-C0D6E-006",
"Date" =\> "2016-10-12",
"Time" =\> "14:35:43.891",
"computername" =\> ""Z49OS2SWB114T"",
"serverIP" =\> "127.0.0.1",
"method" =\> "GET",
"uriStem" =\> "/iis/1/healthcheck/",
}
My problems is that these fields will not always have the ", so I can't fix it in the grok filter, I have to do it afterwards in each field. However, I'm struggling to come up with a gsub statement that can help me.
Does anyone have any pointers on what I can do to normalize these strings?
best regards,
Trond

Should work:
```nohighlight
mutate {
gsub => ["computername", '"', '']
}
```
