Storing syslog data

Not knowing much of anything about ES, I want to use it behind graylog2 as
a syslog server.

This is what my Firewall syslog entries look like...

{
"_index": "logstash-2013.12.11",
"_type": "logs",
"_id": "7PtMS0SUT_yY4mbZyTs6OQ",
"_score": null,
"_source": {
"message": "<134>Dec 11 17:28:09 swpeak10 id=firewall sn=0017C5B334C0 time="2013-12-11 22:28:09 UTC" bid=1 fw=69.2.197.33 pri=6 c=512 m=602 msg="DNS packet allowed" n=0 src=10.1.0.5:53:X0-V81:corpdc2.d.com dst=10.10.x.1:2737:X0-V81: proto=udp/2737 \n",
"@timestamp": "2013-12-11T22:28:08.818Z",
"@version": "1",
"type": "syslog",
"host": "10.10.230.31",
"tags": [
"_grokparsefailure"
],
"priority": 13,
"severity": 5,
"facility": 1,
"facility_label": "user-level",
"severity_label": "Notice"
},
"sort": [
1386800888818
]
}

Should I be parsing the records before they enter ES for better search?,
ie, should i parse out src= and dst= into their own fields if i want to be
able to search those later?

Note: This is from Logstash/Kibana. I'm also testing out Graylog2 and got
things confused. Long day.

By adding a filter:

filter {
kv { }
}

I end up with this:

I still want to tidy up the "src" and "dst" fields. Any comments/info on
doing that would be appreciated a great deal.

Hi Aaron,

Yes, you can parse those with something like Logstash's grok
filterhttp://logstash.net/docs/1.3.1/filters/grok.
You'd probably want to put IPs in their own fields of type
IPhttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-ip-type.html
.
