Hi, I’m currently sending Cyxtera json logs to our syslog-ng server via syslog-ng but for some reason I’m not able to get all of the data to parse out correctly. It’s being parsed out with _json. I was at some point able to get the message in json form but all the data was within a MESSAGE bracket. This is where I’m at now. Looks like it parses correctly but it’s all under _json. Is there a way to remove that and keep everything else? This is what my syslog-ng looks like. @version:3.14 @include "scl.conf" # syslog-ng configuration file. # # See syslog-ng(8) and syslog-ng.conf(5) for more information. # # Note: it also sources additional configuration files (*.conf) # located in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/ ###################################### #Sources ###################################### source s_cyxtera { tcp(port(51404) flags(no-parse)); }; ###################################### #Destinations ###################################### destination d_cyxtera { file("/data/log/syslog/cyxtera/$HOST/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY-cyxtera.log" template("$(format-json --scope dot-nv-pairs)\n")); }; ###################################### # Parser ###################################### parser p_json { json-parser (prefix(".json.")); }; ###################################### # Log ###################################### log { source( s_cyxtera); parser(p_json); destination(d_cyxtera); }; options { flush_lines (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); chain_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); owner("usr01"); group("usr01"); dir-owner("user01"); dir-group("user01"); dir-perm(0755); perm(0755); }; This is how the data is showing up in splunk. I had to clear some info but these are the main keys showing up. I have to expand _json: to get everything inside the key. I want it where I don’t have the _json and everything else shows as their individual key. Hope this makes sense. I know I’m using some of the wrong terminology.
