Hi, i need to parse some logs from a console. and as it is shown next the log message is not uniforme. and what i need to grok is the last message for example: " --\> Wrapper Started as Console". ``` STATUS | wrapper | main | 2016/03/06 19:30:45.531 | --> Wrapper Started as Console STATUS | wrapper | main | 2016/03/06 19:30:45.687 | Java Service Wrapper Standard Edition 64-bit 3.5.24 STATUS | wrapper | main | 2016/03/06 19:30:45.687 | http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com ``` is there a way to grok the rest of line? because the first part of the line is uniform so i can make a specific grok format. Thank you , i really need an answer. ---

One typically uses the GREEDYDATA pattern which matches everything. For this particular log you might be able to use a csv filter instead of grok. Probably easier to configure and almost certainly faster. ---
