File Format Processors
Processors are selected in the type section within file_format. The processor must match the format of the event in the queue.
...
split_or_unseparated_processor
...
Selects the processor by detecting \n. If unsure, this processor is recommended.
...
line_split_processor
...
Split an object into logs at each \n character using Python splitlines. Optionally, the log can be split using:
chunks, a boolean parameter which enables the remaining parameters.indices, a Python integer array which selects lines from the object.substrings, a Python string array which selects lines from the object containing the configured strings.regex, a Python string array which selects lines from the object using pythonre.findall.
...

Split a JSON array into individual Devo events with Python raw_decode. The key parameter is permitted. The parameter may be a string or array. The include parameter is permitted. It a dictionary which renames JSON keys. The rename parameter can rename keys selected by the key parameter.
...
single_json_object_processor
...
For messages containing one JSON object. Uses Python orjson to process a single JSON object. Not for arrays. The key parameter is permitted.
...
separated_json_processor
...
Similar to other separators. The default separator is \n. The separator parameter is permitted.
...
json_object_to_linesplit_processor
...
Split by configured value. The key string parameter or keys array parameter are permitted.
...
unseparated_json_processor_extract_key
...
The unseparated_json_processor with an additional extraction_key parameter permitted. Use this when filtering on two levels of JSON keys.

Custom Service Options
...
file_format
type A string specifying which processor to use, from the list above.
...

...
record_field_mapping
A dictionary where each key defines a variable that can be parsed out from each record (which may be referenced later in filtering).
To parse something and call it type by getting type from a certain key in the record (which may be multiple layers deep).
| Code Block |
|---|
{"type": {"keys": ["file", "type"]}, "operations": [] } |
Suppose we have logs that look like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
{“file”: {“type”: { “log_type” : 100}}} |
To get the log_type, we should list all the keys needed to parse through the JSON in order:
| Code Block |
|---|
keys: [“file”, “type”, “log_type”] |
In many cases, you will probably only need one key, for example, in a flat JSON that isn’t nested:
| Code Block |
|---|
{“log_type”: 100, “other_info”: “blah” ….} |
Here you would just specify keys: ["log_type"]. There are some operations that can be used to further alter the parsed information (like split and replace).
This snippet would grab whatever is located at log["file"]["type"] and name it as type. record_field_mapping defines variables by taking them from logs, and these variables can then be used for filtering.
If you have a log in JSON format like this which will be set to Devo:
| Code Block |
|---|
{“file”: {“value”: 0, “type”: “security_log”}} |
...
To filter out (not send) any records which have the type security_log, write a line_filter_rule as follows:
| Code Block |
|---|
{"source": "record", "key": "type", "type": "match", "value": "security_log" } |
We specified the source as
recordbecause we want to use a variable from therecord_field_mapping.We specified the
keyastypebecause that is the name of the variable we defined.We specified
typeasmatchbecause any record matching this rule we want to filter out.And we specified the
valueassecurity_logbecause we specifically do not want to send any records with the type equallingsecurity_log.
The split operation is the same as if you ran the Python split function on a string.
Given a filename logs/account_id/folder_name/filename and you want to save the account_id as a variable to use for tag routing or filtering.
You could write a file_field_definition like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
"account_id": [{"operator": "split", "on": "/", "element": 1}] |
This would store a variable called account_id by taking the entire filename and splitting it into pieces based on where it finds backslashes, then take the element as position one. In Python, it would look like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
filename.split(“/”)[1] |
Tagging
Tagging can be done in many different ways. One way tagging works is by using the file field definitions:
| Code Block |
|---|
"file_field_definitions": {
"log_type": [
{
"operator": "split",
"on": "/",
"element": 2
}
]
}, |
These are the elements of the filename object:
...
If you look at the highlighted object filename, you can see that we are splitting and looking for the 2nd value. This starts at 0 like arrays. So:
0 =
cequence-data1 =
cequence-devo-6x-NAieMI2 =
detector
"routing_template": "my.app.test_cequence.[file-log_type]"
Our final tag is my.app.test_cequence.detector
Here is another example:
...
file_field_definitions
...
Defined as a dictionary mapping of variable names (you decide) that lists parsing rules.
Each parsing rule has an operator with its own keys. Parsing rules are applied in the order they are listed in the configuration.
The
splitoperator uses theonandelementkeys. The file name will split into pieces considering the character or character sequence specified in theonkey, and will extract whatever it is at the specifiedelementindex, as in the example below.The
replaceoperator uses theto_replaceandreplace_withkeys.
For example, if your filename is server_logs/12409834/ff.gz, this configuration would store the log_type as serverlogs:
| Code Block |
|---|
"file_field_definitions":
{
"log_type": [{"operator": "split", "on": "/", "element": 0}, {"operator": "replace", "to_replace": "_", "replace_with": ""}]
} |
...
routing_template
...
A string defining how to build the tag to send each message, for example, my.app.wow.[record-type].[file-log_type]
If the type extracted during record_field_mapping was null, the record would be sent to the tag my.app.wow.null
Options for filtering
Line-level filters
These are a list of rules for filtering out single events.
| Expand | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

We want to discard all the events that match these conditions:
In Devo, these criteria are specified with the next query. If everything is OK, after configuring the collector properly, there should not be any event if we run this query:
In this case, the key for the filter is the

What if we want to filter out the events that match this pseudocode query that has mixed conditions?
| Code Block |
|---|
if record.type != "ldap" OR (record.main-log_ornot == main-log AND record.type == "kube-api-server-audit"):
do_not_send_record() |
...
| Code Block |
|---|
"record_field_mapping": {
"type": {
"keys": ["type"]
},
"main-log_ornot": {
"keys": ["main-log_ornot"]
}
},
"line_filter_rules": [
[{"source": "record", "key": "type", "type": "doesnotmatch", "value": "ldap"}],
[
{"source": "record", "key": "main-log_ornot", "type": "match", "value": "main-log"},
{"source": "record", "key": "type", "type": "match", "value": "kube-apiserver-audit"}
]
] |
Elements in different lists are OR conditions. Elements in the same list are AND conditions.
| Note |
|---|
Note that the logic for these filters is if they match the query, the collector won't send the event to Devo. |
