Hi All,

I have a log file which looks [like this](https://pastebin.com/5WjWBZW5). My filter config looks like this:

```
filter{
   if [message] =~ /(.*): (.*) - (.*)/ {
  mutate { strip => ["message"] }
  ruby {
        code => '
            msg = event.get("message")
            path = event.get("[log][file][path]")
            path = path.split("/")
            puts path
            site_id = path[-2]
            source_id = path[-3]
            matches = msg.scan(/(.*): (.*) - (.*)/)
            m = matches[0]
            event.set("test", m[1])
	        event.set("value", m[2])
            event.set("site_id", site_id)
            event.set("source_id", source_id)
            event.set("metadata",@@metadata)
        '
    }
}
  else if [message] =~ /^([0]\d|[1][0-2])\/([0-2]\d|[3][0-1])\/([2][01]|[1][6-9])\d{2}(\s([0-1]\d|[2][0-3])(\:[0-5]\d){1,2})(\s([AM|PM|]{2,2}))?$/ {
  mutate { strip => ["message"] }
  ruby {
     init => '
        @@metadata = {}
     '
     code => '
        msg = event.get("message")
        @@metadata["datetime"] = msg
     '
  }
}
else{
  drop {}
}

```

}
