how to convert .log file to .json.log - We have to use for ELK

Hi All,

We have recently configured the ELK in dev region and we have. For Kibana we have to pass .json.log as input but we have only .log files.

How to generate the .json.log file from .log file.

This is what we followed for setting up ELK:

Hi,

Update prlogging.xml to output a second log file structured as JSON.
 
 1. Add a new rolling file appender and configure it to use LogLayoutJSON to format each line in the file as JSON.
 
<appender name="JSON" class="com.pega.pegarules.priv.util.DailySizeRollingFileAppenderPega">  
<param name="FileNamePattern" value="'C:/usr/apps/java/AutomatedInstaller/work/logs/prpc/PegaRULES-'yyyy-MMM-dd'.json.log'"/> 
  <layout class="com.pega.pegarules.priv.LogLayoutJSON" />  
</appender> 
 
  2. Connect the appender to the master ASYNC appender like the other standard appenders.
 
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>  
<appender-ref ref="PEGA"/>  
<appender-ref ref="JSON"/>

Hi - i know how to configure the appender, i have already posted the configuration link, .json.log is generating properly.

My question is how to convert the .log file to .json.log. (This is for existing .log files i want to analyse through kibana.)

We are on pega 7.3.0 so we have done it in prlog4j2.xml (prloggig.xml is not supported for this version)

Regards

There isn't anything in Pega out of the box that can do this, you'll have to see what you can find online for this. For example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21477997/converting-existing-log-files-to-json-format-for-analysis-purposes

The comments here suggest that a script could be created to do this or a logstash filter.
