[chef] Re: Parsing Chef's Multiline Output

[Brian Hatfield < >]

What's your end goal? Just to get the data in Logstash, or do you have a specific view into the data you'd like to see?

If the goal is to get the data into Logstash, you might try forcing the logger back to single-line mode.

If the goal is as an intermediate hop to a specific view, might I recommend setting up a post-run handler to directly share the run information you need?

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone is dealing with Chef's multiline output when shipping to something like logstash->elasticsearch.  Currently Chef does not delineate log entries when they span multiple lines.  I'm considering monkey patching the logger to add a frame around the log entries but I'm not sure where the best place to do this is?  Ideally I would get it implemented before chef makes a single log entry...
