- Description
-
The process of extracting information from log records into named fields or columns. It applies techniques to extract elements from log data and split them into individual fields for easier consumption by other systems. A common parsing method is using regular expressions with capturing groups.
NXLog Agent can parse incoming log records to allow further processing, such as applying filtering rules or enriching the data. It includes dedicated modules for parsing specific data formats, such as JSON and XML. Additionally, the NXLog language supports regular expressions with named capturing groups and provides several string manipulation functions.
