which are available here:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html
The grok parser uses a slightly modified version of logstash "grok"
patterns, with the format:
```
%{<capture_syntax>[:<semantic_name>][:<modifier>]}
```
The `capture_syntax` defines the grok pattern that's used to parse the input
line and the `semantic_name` is used to name the field or tag. The extension
`modifier` controls the data type that the parsed item is converted to or
other special handling.
By default all named captures are converted into string fields.
Timestamp modifiers can be used to convert captures to the timestamp of the
parsed metric. If no timestamp is parsed the metric will be created using the
current time.
You must capture at least one field per line.
- Available modifiers:
- string (default if nothing is specified)
- int
- float
- duration (ie, 5.23ms gets converted to int nanoseconds)
- tag (converts the field into a tag)
- drop (drops the field completely)
- measurement (use the matched text as the measurement name)
- Timestamp modifiers:
- ts (This will auto-learn the timestamp format)
- ts-ansic ("Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 2006")
- ts-unix ("Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 MST 2006")
- ts-ruby ("Mon Jan 02 15:04:05 -0700 2006")
- ts-rfc822 ("02 Jan 06 15:04 MST")
- ts-rfc822z ("02 Jan 06 15:04 -0700")
- ts-rfc850 ("Monday, 02-Jan-06 15:04:05 MST")
- ts-rfc1123 ("Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST")
- ts-rfc1123z ("Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700")
- ts-rfc3339 ("2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00")
- ts-rfc3339nano ("2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00")
- ts-httpd ("02/Jan/2006:15:04:05 -0700")
- ts-epoch (seconds since unix epoch, may contain decimal)
- ts-epochnano (nanoseconds since unix epoch)
- ts-syslog ("Jan 02 15:04:05", parsed time is set to the current year)
- ts-"CUSTOM"
CUSTOM time layouts must be within quotes and be the representation of the
"reference time", which is `Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006`.
To match a comma decimal point you can use a period. For example `%{TIMESTAMP:timestamp:ts-"2006-01-02 15:04:05.000"}` can be used to match `"2018-01-02 15:04:05,000"`
To match a comma decimal point you can use a period in the pattern string.

[logstash's builtin patterns](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-patterns-core/blob/master/patterns/grok-patterns).
