Can't make json parser work

fcharron — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:11:17 GMT

Hi,

After fiddling with the JSON parser for awhile, I tried the most basic example:

Sample JSON Log Entry: {"test":"testing"}
Parser configuration: {"test": "%m"}

And the "Next" button stays grayed out.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Glad to hear you got it working - thanks for letting me know.

I have made a note to look at this for the next release. This should really be more intuitive. I will see what we can do.

Thanks,

Toby

That was it! Can't believe it was that simple. Now my complex JSON parser works perfectly.

Thanks for the super quick response!

Hi,

All log entries must have a timestamp defined (%d). It looks like that might be the problem here.

If you want to send a sample log entry, I might be able to help with the configuration.

Hope that helps,

Toby
