Monitoring string with dynamic data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi

I have a string which has a dynamic number in the middle of it, how woud i go about monitoring the string considering it wont be the same every time due to the changing number?

eg: (ISO-host-async-XXX) Unknown Exception java.lang.NullPointerException

The XXX in the above string will be a 3 digit number which changes.

Welcome!

I believe that you could use a grok or dissect pattern to extract just the meaningful information (ISO-host-async) into a field.

Thanks
