Hello Mike,

Thanks for your reply. By the way, do you mean that I just have to copy / paste 
my Logstash “filter” configuration and it would work?

Subject: Re: Logstash as available parser

Hi Stéphane,

Welcome, and thanks for the interest in the project! The Logstash parser you 
found is one of the original parsers we inherited from the original 
open-sourced OpenSoc project. We don't have any documentation specific to that 
parser (or unit tests as I'm looking at this), but it's actually not too 
complicated. The parser can basically be summed up as the following steps:

  1.  parse logstash messages as Json
  2.  remove meta-fields from the message: @version,type,host,tags
  3.  rename some fields, e.g. src_ip -> ip_src_addr
  4.  set a normalized timestamp field (millis since epoch) named "timestamp" 
taken from the @timestamp logstash field
That's pretty much it - there's currently no configuration required for this 
parser type. I'd run some sample data through the parser to try it out.

Best,
Mike Miklavcic

Hello all,

I’m new to Metron, my installation has been finished this morning, and I must 
admit that it looks very exciting. I’ve a question regarding parsers. When I 
add a new telemetry source, the “parser” list is longer than what it’s 
documented. More precisely, there is a “logstash” parser that we are very 
interested in as we already use Elasticsearch and have a lot of ready to use 
logstash configuration.

Is there any documentation anywhere? I cannot find anything, and the even the 
source code says nothing.

Thanks a lot,

Stéphane
