The apache2 parser plugin parses apache2 logs.

Parameters

keep_time_key

If you want to keep time field in the record, set true. Default is false.

Regexp patterns

This is regexp and time format patterns of this plugin:

format /^(?<host>[^ ]*) [^ ]* (?<user>[^ ]*) \[(?<time>[^\]]*)\] "(?<method>\S+)(?: +(?<path>[^ ]*) +\S*)?" (?<code>[^ ]*) (?<size>[^ ]*)(?: "(?<referer>[^\"]*)" "(?<agent>[^\"]*)")?$/
time_format %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z

host, user, method, path, code, size, referer and agent are included in the event record. time is used for the event time.

code and size fields are converted into integer type automatically. And if the field value is -, it is interpreted as nil. See "Result Example".

Example

192.168.0.1 - - [28/Feb/2013:12:00:00 +0900] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 777 "-" "Opera/12.0"

This incoming event is parsed as:

time:
1362020400 (28/Feb/2013:12:00:00 +0900)
​
record:
{
  "user"   : nil,
  "method" : "GET",
  "code"   : 200,
  "size"   : 777,
  "host"   : "192.168.0.1",
  "path"   : "/",
  "referer": nil,
  "agent"  : "Opera/12.0"
}
