    type => syslog
  }
}

filter {
  if [type] == "syslog" {
    grok {
      match => { "message" => "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}" }
      add_field => ["received_at", "%{@timestamp}"]
      add_field => ["received_from", "%{host}"]
    }
    date {
      match => ["syslog_timestamp", "MMM d HH:mm:ss.SSS", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"]
      timezone => "UTC"
    }
  }
}
