Hi
I’m trying to ingest log files with custom format so the line looks like this:
[date and time][tab][info1][tab][info2][pipe][info3][pipe][info4]
So separators are mix of tabs and pipes. Not to mention that last info field might be multi-line and some lines just include useless data that I need to ignore
I’m quite new at ELK stack and has been trying to use it to centralize logs
So please bear with me
