I’m running nxlog on an Ubuntu 14.04 system which is parsing the log from an 
Atlassian Confluence instance. Nxlog is then sending the data to a Graylog2 
server via GELF UDP.

The log messages are often multiline. I’m catching the messages properly, but 
I’m having issues in getting the parsed bits of data out to Graylog in the 
right format. Specifically, I want to explicitly set the value of some of the 
fields that are sent to Graylog. For example, there is a field which is 
displayed in Graylog as “level”. In nxlog.conf, I have statements in an exec 
clause which goes like this:

<Input confluence>
        Module          im_file
        File            
"/opt/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/atlassian-confluence.log"
        InputType       multiline
        SavePos         false
        ReadFromLast    false
        Exec    if $raw_event =~ /^(\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2} 
\d{2}\:\d{2}\:\d{2}),\d{3} (\S+) \[(.+?)\] \[(.+?)\] (.+?) (.+)/s \
                { \
                        $EventTime = parsedate($1); \
                        $SyslogSeverity = $2; \
                        $Severity = $2; \
                        $Level = $2; \
                        $level = $2; \
                        $Thread = $3; \
                        $Class = $4; \
                        $Operation = $5; \
                        $Message = $6; \
                }
</Input>

In Graylog, when I look at a parsed message, I can see “Level” and “Severity” 
fields set properly, but “level” is always “Info [6]”. Is there a map if those 
field names and how to set them explicitly?

Thanks!
