here "-- url" is already a new line

my grok filter is

(?m)%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp} %{LOGLEVEL:level} \[%{DATA:thread}\] \[%{DATA}\] %{SPACE}%{WORD}%{SPACE}%{DATA:Error}\. 

please need your assistance .

Hi!

I don't know about your multiline configuration and intended use case (what to do with the second line with hyphen - minus. " -- url: ..." line.

Anyway, there is a blank space before the %{SPACE}%{WORD}%{SPACE} so your pattern looks for 2 spaces before a word instead of just 1.

You can check it https://grokconstructor.appspot.com/do/match , it's a good idea to start adding elements one by one to your pattern and confirm that they are working as intended.
