@jagdeepsingh2 - you *could* try this -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/134882/undoing-a-git-rebase, but at this
point it might be better to just open a new PR bc pushing up to github is going
to cause some additional drama as well. You'll want to keep the default
checklist that's populated in the description when you open the PR. Please note
the comments from @nickwallen and myself regarding what should also be included
in your description.
In general, once you've pushed a branch to the public it's better to just
git merge, otherwise you can get into trouble like this. We flatten PR's once
they're committed to master anyhow.
> General Purpose Regex Parser
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: METRON-1795
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1795
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jagdeep Singh
> Priority: Minor
>
> We have implemented a general purpose regex parser for Metron that we are
> interested in contributing back to the community.
>
> While the Metron Grok parser provides some regex based capability today, the
> intention of this general purpose regex parser is to:
> # Allow for more advanced parsing scenarios (specifically, dealing with
> multiple regex lines for devices that contain several log formats within them)
> # Give users and developers of Metron additional options for parsing
> # With the new parser chaining and regex routing feature available in
> Metron, this gives some additional flexibility to logically separate a flow
> by:
> # Regex routing to segregate logs at a device level and handle envelope
> unwrapping
> # This general purpose regex parser to parse an entire device type that
> contains multiple log formats within the single device (for example, RHEL
> logs)
> At the high-level control flow is like this:
> # Identify the record type if incoming raw message.
> # Find and apply the regular expression of corresponding record type to
> extract the fields (using named groups).
> # Apply the message header regex to extract the fields in the header part of
> the message (using named groups).
>
> The parser config uses the following structure:
>
> {code:java}
> "recordTypeRegex": "(?<process>(?<=\\s)\\b(kernel|syslog)\\b(?=\\[|:))"
> "messageHeaderRegex":
> "(?<syslogpriority>(?<=^<)\\d{1,4}(?=>)).*?(?<timestamp>(?<=>)[A-Za-z]{3}\\s{1,2}\\d{1,2}\\s\\d{1,2}:\\d{1,2}:\\d{1,2}(?=\\s)).*?(?<syslogHost>(?<=\\s).*?(?=\\s))",
> "fields": [
> {
> "recordType": "kernel",
> "regex": ".*(?<eventInfo>(?<=\\]|\\w\\:).*?(?=$))"
> },
> {
> "recordType": "syslog",
> "regex":
> ".*(?<processid>(?<=PID\\s=\\s).*?(?=\\sLine)).*(?<filePath>(?<=64\\s)\/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+\/)+(?=\\w))(?<fileName>.*?(?=\")).*(?<eventInfo>(?<=\").*?(?=$))"
> }
> ]
> {code}
>
> Where:
> * *recordTypeRegex* is used to distinctly identify a record type. It inputs
> a valid regular expression and may also have named groups, which would be
> extracted into fields.
> * *messageHeaderRegex* is used to specify a regular expression to extract
> fields from a message part which is common across all the messages (i.e,
> syslog fields, standard headers)
> * *fields*: json list of objects containing recordType and regex. The
> expression that is evaluated is based on the output of the recordTypeRegex
> * Note: *recordTypeRegex* and *messageHeaderRegex* could be specified as
> lists also (as a JSON array), where the list will be evaluated in order until
> a matching regular expression is found.
