Hello @Badger

Thanks for the suggestion. However, my grok pattern broke by replacing that type. So I restored it. Any other suggestion? Below is the logstash error snippet

`[2020-11-17T10:37:37,085][WARN][logstash.filters.grok][main][1c077e87742efb841fc737b19f5173c19c342d833aa922af329f987d7b44cab0] Timeout executing grok '(?<timestamp>%{YEAR}[./]%{MONTHNUM}[./]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}) \[%{LOGLEVEL:severity}\] %{POSINT:pid}#%{NUMBER:threadid}\: \*%{NUMBER:connectionid} %{DATA:errormessage}, client: %{IP:client}, server: %{DATA:server}, request: \"(?<httprequest>%{WORD:httpcommand} %{UNIXPATH:httpfile} HTTP/(?<httpversion>[0-9.]*))\"(, host: \"(?<host>[^,]*)\")?, referrer: \"%{DATA:referrer}\"' against field 'message' with value 'Value too large to output (288 bytes)!

@nitin194 try with this pattern UNIXPATH2 `(?>/(?>[\w_%!$@:.,-]+|\\.)*)+`
