Splitting Data

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,

I'm consuming yum.log with filebeat, this is great but I want to be able to manipulate the data as it comes in to allow me to filter better and visulise the data.

At the moment a message looks like this

"message": "Apr 19 15:13:42 Updated: ec2-utils-0.7-43.5.amzn1.noarch",

I would liek to be able to pull out the date (as a timestamp), whether it was Updated/Installed and the package name.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Ok, im new to grok patterns.

%{YUMTIMESTAMP:timestamp} %{NOTSPACE:state} %{NOTSPACE:package}

YUMTIMESTAMP being a customer pattern YUMTIMESTAMP %{MONTH} +%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}

gave me the result I was looking for:

{
  "package": "ec2-utils-0.7-43.5.amzn1.noarch",
  "state": "Updated:",
  "timestamp": "Apr 19 15:13:42"
}
