logstash grok filter for custom logs -

-

i have 2 related questions. first how best grok logs have "messy" spacing , on, , second, i'll ask separately, how deal logs have arbitrary attribute-value pairs. (see: logstash grok filter logs arbitrary attribute-value pairs )

so first question, have log line looks this:

14:46:16.603 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] info  metering - msg=93e6dd5e-c009-46b3-b9eb-f753ee3b889a create_job job=a820018e-7ad7-481a-97b0-bd705c3280ad data=71b1652e-16c8-4b33-9a57-f5fcb3d5de92

using http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/ able come following grok pattern works line:

%{time:timestamp} %{notspace:http} %{word:loglevel}%{space}%{word:logtype} - msg=%{notspace:msg}%{space}%{word:action}%{space}job=%{notspace:job}%{space}data=%{notspace:data}

with following config file:

input {         file {                 path => "/home/robyn/testlogs/trimmed_logs.txt"                 start_position => beginning                 sincedb_path => "/dev/null" # testing; allows reparsing         } } filter {         grok {                 match => {"message" => "%{time:timestamp} %{notspace:http} %{word:loglevel}%{space}%{word:logtype} - msg=%{notspace:msg}%{space}%{word:action}%{space}job=%{notspace:job}%{space}data=%{notspace:data}" }         } } output {         file {                 path => "/home/robyn/filteredlogs/trimmed_logs.out.txt"         } }

i following output:

{"message":"14:46:16.603 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] info  metering - msg=93e6dd5e-c009-46b3-b9eb-f753ee3b889a create_job job=a820018e-7ad7-481a-97b0-bd705c3280ad data=71b1652e-16c8-4b33-9a57-f5fcb3d5de92","@version":"1","@timestamp":"2015-08-07 t17:55:16.529z","host":"hlt-dev","path":"/home/robyn/testlogs/trimmed_logs.txt","timestamp":"14:46:16.603","http":"[http-nio-8080-exec-4]","loglevel":"info","logtype":"metering","msg":"93e6dd5e-c009-46b3-b9eb-f753ee3b889a","action":"create_job","job":"a820018e-7ad7-481a-97b0-bd705c3280ad","data":"71b1652e-16c8-4b33-9a57-f5fcb3d5de92"}

that's pretty want, feel it's kludgy pattern, particularly need use %{space} , %{nospace} much. suggests me i'm not doing best possible way. should creating more specific pattern hex ids? think need %{space} between loglevel , logtype because of space between info , metering in log, feels kludgy.

also how log's timestamp replace @timestamp seems time logstash ingested log, don't want/need.

obviously i'm getting started elk , grok, pointers useful resources appreciated.

there existing pattern can use instead of notspace, it's uuid. when there's single space, there's no need use space pattern, can leave out. i'm using username pattern (maybe wrongly named) sake of capturing http field.

so go , have single space pattern capture multiple spaces.

sample log line:

14:46:16.603 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] info  metering - msg=93e6dd5e-c009-46b3-b9eb-f753ee3b889a create_job job=a820018e-7ad7-481a-97b0-bd705c3280ad data=71b1652e-16c8-4b33-9a57-f5fcb3d5de92

grok pattern:

%{time:timestamp} \[%{username:http}\] %{word:loglevel}%{space}%{word:logtype} - msg=%{uuid:msg} %{word:action} job=%{uuid:job} data=%{uuid:data}

grok spit out:

{   "timestamp": [     [       "14:46:16.603"     ]   ],   "hour": [     [       "14"     ]   ],   "minute": [     [       "46"     ]   ],   "second": [     [       "16.603"     ]   ],   "http": [     [       "http-nio-8080-exec-4"     ]   ],   "loglevel": [     [       "info"     ]   ],   "space": [     [       "  "     ]   ],   "logtype": [     [       "metering"     ]   ],   "msg": [     [       "93e6dd5e-c009-46b3-b9eb-f753ee3b889a"     ]   ],   "action": [     [       "create_job"     ]   ],   "job": [     [       "a820018e-7ad7-481a-97b0-bd705c3280ad"     ]   ],   "data": [     [       "71b1652e-16c8-4b33-9a57-f5fcb3d5de92"     ]   ] }

asp.net - 'System.Web.HttpContext' does not contain a definition for 'GetOwinContext' Mystery -

i realize question might seem trivial some, it's these types of things find myself fighting quite bit , want make sense of despite seeming losing battle in .net (for me anyway). so, if following: using system.web; ... applicationuser user = system.web.httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); that produces error in title , red getowincontext() , error cannot resolve symbol 'getowincontext()' however, if following (remove system.web in front of httpcontext ), works expected (or @ least no errors): using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); however, if (same line that's working using system.web commented out): //using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermana...

mercurial graft feature, can it copy? -

-
there new feature in mercurial 3, called 'graft' (graft local). job of moving change-set different branch. is there way "copy" change-set branch? i interested in in moving stuff qa branch production branch, still need code reside in qa. want copy. found , have tried few things, maybe it'll become clear more tinkering , reading... does have better way of 'cherry picking' change-sets move cross branch (or trunk)??? graft copies changesets, doesn't move them. hg graft (emphasis mine): this command uses mercurial's merge logic copy individual changes other branches without merging branches in history graph. known 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking' . default, graft copy user, date, , description source changesets.
