Grok “or” around multiple “or” patterns?












0














Is this possible.



I don't have the regex to hand, but in "pseudo" regex i have so far is:



(Client_id:IP) | (Cient_id:IPPORT)


This works, if it is an IP alone, it matches. If it an IP:PORT it matches. But what I want is:



((Client_id:IP) | (Cient_id:IPPORT))  |   ((somethingElse:ANOTHERGROK ) | (soemthingElse:ANOTHERGROK2))


I've tried lots of combinations but nothing works so far.

          For you, I noticed [HTTPD_COMMONLOG][1], which contains:




          %{NUMBER:response} (?:%{NUMBER:bytes}|-)




          So you can see how they combine one pattern ("response") with another pattern that contains the "or" ("bytes").
