Hi avrey one,  
I wanted to filter this type of message:  
ip ip text  
I don't know the format of the text and what is inside of it.I only know that there is 2 ip and the text.  
How i can geto something that I don't know is structurated? (I want to take the text but i don't know how it's made (it can have number and text))

Hi,  
I think, using the [grok](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html) plugin is the best solution available for you.

Thank for your reply @Cad .  
I have tried to use it but it give a \_grokparsefailure.

```auto
 grok
                {
                match => { "message"=> "%{IP:client} %{IP:destination} %{GREEDYDATA:request} " }
                }

```

Can you give us an exemple of your data ?

I think you have to remove the last space after the GREEDYDATA pattern.
