This is what the grok filter is for.

> **[Grok filter plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html)**

Try this:

```auto
%{DATE} %{TIME} %{NOTSPACE:log_level} %{NOTSPACE:type} %{GREEDYDATA:log_message}

```

If you have others I suggest using this website to help you construct your patterns
