Hi Terry, Just a comment on your "linefeeds and tabs" problem... My guess is that you're working on Windows. Plenty of text editors on Windows insert invisible characters that can screw things up. But, I've found that the opposite is true in the *NIX world, few text editors do that sort of thing. So, the general recommendation probably would be to find a text editor that doesn't do that sort of thing or change OS where your choices will more likely work. I've also found that JSON formatted statements can be executed in some console environments, like *NIX bash(maybe not Windows console, I haven't tried), so strictly speaking linefeeds and tabs aren't always an issue. But, if you need to remove those linefeeds and whitespaces, there are a ton of freeware and online tools to remove those (I use them to minimize HTML pages and javascript)... so you can have the best of both worlds, compose in JSON, then remove whitespace for execution. Re: indexing based on timestamp, you might take a look at the Logstash apache log parser, it's done automatically by default an index is created based on each day. HTH, Tony
