multiline
The
multiline parser plugin parses multiline logs. This plugin is the multiline version of regexp parser.The
multiline parser parses log with formatN and format_firstline parameters. format_firstline is for detecting the start line of the multiline log. formatN, where N's range is [1..20], is the list of Regexp format for multiline log.Unlike other parser plugins, this plugin needs special code in input plugin e.g. handle
format_firstline. So, currently, in_tail plugin works with multiline but other input plugins do not work with it.Specifies the regexp pattern for the start line of multiple lines. Input plugin can skip the logs until
format_firstline is matched. Default is nil.If
format_firstline is not specified, the input plugin should store the unmatched new lines in the temporary buffer and try to match the buffered logs with each new line.type | default | version |
string | nil | 0.14.0 |
It is a required parameter.
Specifies the regexp patterns. For readability, you can separate the regexp patterns into multiple
formatN parameters. See the Rails Log's example below. These patterns are joined and then construct a regexp pattern with multiline mode.With this configuration:
<parse>
@type multiline
format_firstline /^Started/
format1 /Started (?<method>[^ ]+) "(?<path>[^"]+)" for (?<host>[^ ]+) at (?<time>[^ ]+ [^ ]+ [^ ]+)\n/
format2 /Processing by (?<controller>[^\u0023]+)\u0023(?<controller_method>[^ ]+) as (?<format>[^ ]+?)\n/
format3 /( Parameters: (?<parameters>[^ ]+)\n)?/
format4 / Rendered (?<template>[^ ]+) within (?<layout>.+) \([\d\.]+ms\)\n/
format5 /Completed (?<code>[^ ]+) [^ ]+ in (?<runtime>[\d\.]+)ms \(Views: (?<view_runtime>[\d\.]+)ms \| ActiveRecord: (?<ar_runtime>[\d\.]+)ms\)/
