Fluent::Plugin::grok_pure::Parser

This fluentd parser plugin adds a parse format grok_pure which allows using any Grok pattern. It uses the jls-grok ruby gem, so it supports all Grok features, including type coercion.

Install the plugin by running:

fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-grok_pure-parser

<source>
  type tail
  path /path/to/log
  tag foo.log

  format grok_pure
  grok_pattern %{HAPROXYHTTP}
  grok_pattern_path /etc/grok_patterns
</source>

Setting format to grok_pure enables the Grok parser. The two main configuration options are grok_pattern_path, which must be the path to a directory that contains grok patterns, and grok_pattern, which is the pattern used to match and format the record. All named grok patterns will end up as keys in the resulting record.

The following standard format options are also supported:

• time_key: Sets the name of the grok capture group that contains the log timestamp
• time_format: Sets the format of the log timestamp, for parsing
• type coercion via the TypeConverter mixin (no official documentation available yet)

Grok patterns can generally be of the form of %{PATTERN_NAME}, %{PATTERN_NAME:CAPTURE_NAME} or %{PATTERN_NAME:CAPTURE_NAME:type_coercion}. See the Logstash Grok documentation for more details.
