13.14. Record Definition Example

This is what a record definition looks like: 
fields="book[name,author] | magazine[*]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • The record definitions are pipe separated: "book" records will have a first field value of "book" while "magazine" records will have a first field value of "magazine"
  • Asterisk ("*") as the field definition for a record basically tells the reader to generate the field names in the generated events (e.g. "field_0", "field_1" etc.)
