Hi All, I need to use grok filter to parse the following log pattern: ```auto [2022-05-24T02:15:20.979+0000][info][gc] GC(187) Pause Full (G1 Evacuation Pause) 2559M->1698M(2560M) 724.899ms ``` The idea is to capture the following from the log: 1. Date/Time 2. 2559M-\>1698M showing drop in the heap due to garbage collection 3. 2560M Total heap 4. 724.899ms Time take for GC I get stumped at the first pattern for date/ timestamp and following does not seem to work when I put in the debugger: ```auto %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:time} ``` Please guide what filters should I use for the entire log message? Thanks ---

Hello @zaeemmasood Hope this grok pattern would help you ```auto \[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date_time}\]\[%{WORD:loglevel}\]\[%{WORD:gc}\s*\]\s+%{GREEDYDATA:message} %{GREEDYDATA:drop_heap}\(%{DATA:total_gc}\) %{GREEDYDATA:time_taken} ``` Attached screenshot for your reference. ![grok2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/e/9e4f3ef175fceb23415447f85b9ff2e57f0df4ad.png) Keep Posted!!! Thanks 🙂 !!! ---

Thanks. That solves my issue. I need to display the fields individually in Kibana. This does not seem to work: ```auto filter { if [type] == "tv_gclog_analysis" { grok { match => { "message" => "\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:createdTime}\]\[%{WORD:logLevel}\]+%{GREEDYDATA:message} %{GREEDYDATA:heapDrop}\(%{DATA:maxHeap:int}\) %{GREEDYDATA:timeTaken:int}" } } } } ``` Do I need to somehow split the message as follows: ```auto if [type] == "tv_gclog_analysis" { filter { grok { match => { "message" => \[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:createdTime}\]\[%{WORD:logLevel}\]+%{GREEDYDATA:message} %{GREEDYDATA:heapDrop}\(%{DATA:maxHeap:int}\) %{GREEDYDATA:timeTaken:int} } } mutate { split => ["message",] add_field =>{ "createdTime" => "%{[message][0]}" "logLevel" => "%{[message][1]}" "message" => "%{[message][2]}" "heapDrop" => "%{[message][3]}" "maxHeap" => "%{[message][4]}" "time_taken" => "%{[message][5]}" } } } ``` Please guide ---

Hello @zaeemmasood this grok pattern should be inside single quotes like the below . if still not working please a raise a new case to assist you further. ```auto filter { grok { match => { "message" => '\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:createdTime}\]\[%{WORD:logLevel}\]+%{GREEDYDATA:message} %{GREEDYDATA:heapDrop}\(%{DATA:maxHeap:int}\) %{GREEDYDATA:timeTaken:int}' } } ``` ---

Thanks for your help! Please let me know if there is a central place where all the possible grok patterns are mentioned? ---

Hello @zaeemmasood In this below elastic article you would find a git repo where it contains mostly all the patterns. > **[Grok filter plugin | Logstash Reference \[8.2\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html)** ---
