Logstash filter for Jboss Fuse 6.2.1

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I've tried to create a filter for Logstash that can consume my Jboss Fuse log file.

My filter is working, and I get data into Kibana. But I was wondering if is possible to split the message into:
-Date
-Message Type
-Log Subsystem
-Route
-Java class
-Message Text

Example from fuse.log:

2018-03-15 06:04:18,795 | INFO | ../../ftp/input | route105 ID-domain.com-227-10-27620 | com.domain.JavaClassImpl | Some message from Java

2018-03-15 15:27:35,464 | WARN | ActiveMQ Task-1 | | org.apache.activemq.transport.failover.FailoverTransport | Failed to connect to [tcp://localhost:61616] after: 10 attempt(s) continuing to retry.

My filter:

input {
        beats {
                port => "5044"
        }
}
filter {

   grok {
     match =>
        {
          "message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}%{SPACE}%{LOGLEVEL:level}\s+\[%{DATA:className}\]%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:message}"
        }
   }

}
output {
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
                index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
                document_type => "%{[metadata][type]}"
        }
}

What I see in Kibana:

    selite

the _grokparsefailure tag indicates that your grok pattern failed to parse the input; you can use the Grok Constructor to test an expression against a number of log lines.

Since your data is very well-formatted and consistently delimited, you may have better luck with logstash-filter-dissect, which uses delimiter-splitting under the hood and is much easier to understand because we don't have to worry so much about exact format of each field:

# ...
filter {
  dissect {
    mapping => {
      "message" => "%{timestamp} | %{level} | %{subsystem} | %{route} | %{class} | %{message}"
    }
  }
  date {
    match => [ "timestamp", "ISO8601" ]
  }
}

EDIT: original was missing => in date filter

Thank you yaauie.

Updated filter:
GNU nano 2.8.6 File: logstash-syslog.conf

input {
        beats {
                port => "5044"
        }
}
filter {
  dissect {
    mapping => {
      "message" => "%{timestamp} | %{level} | %{subsystem} | %{route} | %{class} | %{message}"
    }
  }
  date {
    match [ "timestamp", "ISO8601" ]
  }
}
output {
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
                index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
                document_type => "%{[metadata][type]}"
        }
}

I tried to use that filter but I got error when starting up:

I found out that the filter was missing => at date match.
Now it works!

Derp. I've updated my previous comment to be correct.
