Please check and give me the solution for it...  
Sample Data: WARN | wrapper | 2019/06/14 03:17:14 | The "wrapper.java.additional.2" property was redefined on line #84 of configuration file: C:\Rockwell\IOServerES\conf\wrapper.conf

Tried Pattern: %{LOGLEVEL:level:tag}.....%{DATA:component:tag}......./|%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp}%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:message}

Output sample: {  
"level": [  
"WARN"  
],  
"component": [  
"wrapper "  
],  
"timestamp": [  
null  
],  
"message": [  
null  
]  
}

Expected:  
{  
"level": [  
"WARN"  
],  
"component": [  
"wrapper "  
],  
"timestamp": [  
"2019/06/14 03:17:14 "  
],  
"message": [  
"The "wrapper.java.additional.2" property was redefined on line #84 of configuration file: C:\Rockwell\IOServerES\conf\wrapper.conf"  
]  
}

I would guess you failed to escape your | with , so that they are being interpreted as alternation rather than literal | characters.

At the place of **component** | escaped know...but why the timestap not collection data.
