Thank you, I tried both your suggestions and the source is still showing up as the IPV6 address rather than the hostname. I feel like I’m doing something fundamentally wrong. My goal it to search the message and then replace the source with what I found in the message.
1st Recommendation:
GROK Pattern “FQDN” = “\s%{HOSTNAME}”
rule "FQDN to Source"
when
has_field("message")
then
let extract = grok(pattern: "%{FQDN}", value: to_string($message.source));
set_fields(extract);
end
2nd recommendation:
rule "FQDN to Source"
when
has_field("message")
then
let extract = grok(pattern: "^/S %{HOSTNAME}", value: to_string($message.source));
set_fields(extract);
end
