Configuration Table 

Parameter Type Default Description
listen_port* int Port to listen on.
listen_ip string “0.0.0.0” IP Address to listen on.
log_type string udp Arbitrary for attribute ’log_type’. Useful for filtering between many udp sources.
parse_format enum none Method to use when parsing. Valid values are none, json, and regex. When regex is selected, ‘Regex Pattern’ must be set.
regex_pattern string The regex pattern used when parsing log entries.
multiline_line_start_pattern string Regex pattern that matches the beginning of a log entry, for handling multiline logs.
multiline_line_end_pattern string Regex pattern that matches the end of a log entry, useful for terminating parsing of multiline logs.
parse_timestamp bool false Whether to parse the timestamp from the log entry.
timestamp_field string timestamp The field containing the timestamp in the log entry.
parse_timestamp_format enum ISO8601 The format of the timestamp in the log entry. Choose a common format, or specify a custom format. Options include “ISO8601”, “RFC3339”, “Epoch”, and “Manual”.
epoch_timestamp_format enum s The layout of the epoch-based timestamp. Required when parse_timestamp_format is set to “Epoch”.. Options include “s”, “ms”, “us”, “ns”, “s.ms”, “s.us”, “s.ns”.
manual_timestamp_format string ‘%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z’ The strptime layout of the timestamp. Used when parse_timestamp_format is set to “Manual”.
timezone timezone UTC The timezone to use if the Timestamp Format doesn’t include a timezone. Otherwise, the timezone in the Timestamp Format will be respected. NOTE: This is also required to parse timezone abbreviations, due to their ambiguity.
parse_severity bool false Whether to parse severity from the log entry.
severity_field string severity The field containing the severity in the log entry.
parse_to string body The field that the log will be parsed to. Some exporters handle logs favorably when parsed to attributes over body and vice versa.
