Grok and httpd

When you use the LogFormat parameter in you apache configuration, you may want to use the same logformat in logstash.

I made a small table that will enable you to “translate” your custom log format into a grok pattern.

httpd grok
%T %{NUMBER:duration_seconds}
%D %{NUMBER:duration_microseconds}
%h %{IPORHOST:client}
%l %{USERNAME:remotelogname}
%u %{USERNAME:username}
%t \[%{HTTPDATE:timestamp}\]
%r %{USERNAME:method} %{URIPATHPARAM:request} HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion}
%s %{NUMBER:response}
%B %{NUMBER:bytes}
%b (?:%{NUMBER:bytes}|-)
\"%{Referer}i\" %{QS:referer}
\"%{User-Agent}i\" %{QS:useragent}
