Hi All, i have the following log pattern  
[20/Sep/2018:16:20:49 -0400] 00.000.000.000 "GET /XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX/health HTTP/1.1" 200 (1 ms) 0  
I am using the following grok pattern  
@parse  
@type grok  
  
[%{DATA:time}] %{IPV4:ipAddress} %{GREEDYDATA:syslog\_message}"%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:httpStatus:integer}(  
  
  
But I am left with a trailing space for http status

"httpStatus": [  
[  
"200 "  
]  
]

Can someone please help

I think the pattern question got a bit mangled due to the formatting. Can you update the formatting so that grok pattern and/or input is rendered correctly ?

Also is this Logstash grok, or Ingest node grok ?
