Hi Andre,

Have you checked LPEG? It is really cool too.
Here is a tutorial for it: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LpegTutorial
Some real usage example in Heka can be used at 
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/tree/dev/sandbox/lua/decoders
(for example 
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/blob/dev/sandbox/lua/decoders/linux_loadavg.lua#L48-L58
 which is failrly easy to
understand even without reading docs on LPEG).
There is also an online LPEG testing tool as well with a few examples to play 
with it easily: http://lpeg.trink.com/

Regards
Timur

Hi there,  

Grok is perhaps one of the coolest features of logstash (once you get  
used to debug it...)  

Do you think heka should have similar capability?  

If yes, what would you reckon, Go or Lua?*  


Cheers  


* - I could find pre existing implementations of Grok in both languages
