I'm struggling getting my data to break to events. A REST call gives me a csv in a long straight line, without any character to break. Any help how to fix this?
This is what it looks like now:
svc;Time_Stamp;Omgeving;name;Locatie;capacity;free_capacity;virtual_capacity;real_capacity;overalloc;type;Storage_ClassIVB201;2016/01/2518:00:13CET;OTA;B_IVB201_HUB196_1;Best;62603443306496;32838246203392;34303903793152;29762410301440;54;thin;BronsIVB800;2016/01/2518:00:15CET;PRD;B_IVB800_HUB193_1;Best;62602906435584;2785286291456;59817088641536;59817088641536;95;THICK;Brons
This is what would make me happy:
svc;Time_Stamp;Omgeving;name;Locatie;capacity;free_capacity;virtual_capacity;real_capacity;overalloc;type;Storage_Class

Bonuspoints for the right way to get rid of the header record. 🙂
Hi there Renems,
Try with this,
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
SEDCMD=s/svc;.*?Storage_Class//g
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]*)(?:[A-Z]{1,}\d{1,})(?=;\d{4}\/\d{2}\/\d{4})
Hi there Renems,

LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]*)(?:[A-Z]{1,}\d{1,})(?=;\d{4}\/\d{2}\/\d{4})
Give this a try (assuming your value of svc field is 6 character long always)
[ <SOURCETYPE NAME> ]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
disabled=false
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]*)(?=\w{6};\d+\/\d+)
TIME_FORMAT=%Y/%m/%d%H:%M:%S%Z
TIME_PREFIX=^\w{6};
SEDCMD-removeheader=s/^(svc;.*)//
Thanks for the help. However, it's not the result I was hoping for. In fact, it doesn't seem to work.
Could it be because between the last word of the sentence, and the first one of the new one, there's no character in between? Any other suggestions?
What REST call is giving you those results?
Yeah I know, it's not a very good one.
There could be something in your REST call that can be changed to improve your results, but it's impossible to know for sure without seeing the command.
