Hi All,

I'm having an issue maybe someone can help me out with, I am trying to parse Meraki flows messages which look like this:

> <https://gist.github.com/bboy8012/0322db5d28ad883c7307d5e76367163e>

  
my input conf is this:  

> <https://gist.github.com/bboy8012/a8fb1ef1b5bb161f6009fc4ee15cda89>

  
and my filter conf is this:  

> <https://gist.github.com/bboy8012/33552388254c087238dbc70017e3d283>

I continually get this in stdout when testing and I have verified the gork works using grokconstructor.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks

I figured it out, all I did was move everything inside the filter statement and did the logic from there. Thanks
