Hello

We now have a ELK system with logstash,elasticsearch and kibana.

The logstash configure is:

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}

filter {  
grok {  
match =\> ["message", "%{COMMONAPACHELOG}"]  
}  
}

output {  
if [type]=="wineventlog" {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost:9200"  
index =\> "wineventlog-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}"  
}  
}  
else  
{

elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost:9200"  
}  
}  
}

The module of index is default.

Now we get the data with winlogbeat and we want to split the "event\_data.Binary" row in the kibana table.

For example:

The origin content of event\_data.Binary row is "000000000003".

And we want to split it to three row on kibana:

event\_data.Binary1 0000

event\_data.Binary2 0000

event\_data.Binary3 0003

Could we use logstash or kibana to do it ?

You can do it with a ruby filter in Logstash.
