JSON parse error - Suricata

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello Team,

I mounted my lab with suricata and web servers. I tried send log suricata to ELK. But I received error when i did the parse

My conf:

input {
udp {
port => "514"
type => "syslog"
}
}

filter {
json {
source => "message"
}
}

output {
stdout {}
}

But I received this error:

Please can you help me ?

You need to parse the JSON out of the syslog message before trying to use a json filter. Something like

dissect { mapping => { "message" => "<%{syslog_pri}>%{timestamp} %{+timestamp} %{+timestamp} %{} %{}: %{jsonMessage}" } }
json { source => "jsonMessage" }
