Importing csv file and converting to syslog and sending to log server

Tags: csv syslog

#1 jbloe812

Hello all,

I am having an issue reading in a csv file and converting it out up to a log server. The first line/event in the csv gets parsed and converted correctly but then the second line/event doesn't get parsed and is converted to the same line as the first event. I am trying to have it read in the csv file (being exported from sccm for scep alerts) and convert it to syslog and send it up to log server. Please find all my configs below:

The number of fields in the Fields directive do not match the number in the source data.
The source looks to have about 33 lines of generic text and then it seems there are multiple Incidents on that same line.
It appears as if every Incident is preceded by "SecurityIncident" and includes about 32 fields.

This is unless what you pasted in is supposed to be on 5 lines? (my suspicion) Top row being the definition with "Type","RowID", ... and the following lines starting with "SecurityIncident" each.
If this is the case then you will want to ignore the definition line by something similar to the Example 323. Collecting W3C Format Logs With xm_csv example in the NXLog EE Manual.
Before the parse_csv() line it would be something like if $raw_event =~ /^"Type","RowID".*/ drop(); That would leave you with only actual events to parse.
