Hi, This article discusses parsing plus elastic, albeit it does use db-parser() for the parsing piece, where you probably want to use kv-parser() as Fabien has mentioned. https://www.balabit.com/blog/how-to-parse-data-with-syslog-ng-store-in-elast... -- Bazsi On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 12:52 PM, Fabien Wernli <wernli@in2p3.fr> wrote:

I thought the nv-pairs scope would do the trick but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the message. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here or can syslog-ng not accomplish what I want to do at all?
No, the `format-json()` function will merely generate JSON for all the syslog-ng macros, e.g. MESSAGE. But your key=value stings are inside the MESSAGE macro, and for them to be extracted you need to parse the content of MESSAGE.
Luckily for you there's the `kv-parser()` which will do just that:
