> is there way to parse logstash logs in logstash? There's no easy way, but it would of course be possible to set up a rather complex set of filters to do it. I'm pretty sure there's a GitHub issue for making it easier to machine-parse the Logstash logs. > json filter doesn't seem to be working on this... That's not surprising since the logs aren't in JSON format. ---
