Description
We use the filelog receiver to ingest Artifactory logs. Some but not all of them contain ANSI color sequences. This makes regex creation pretty uncomfortable because both: log field separators and the ANSI color codes contain
[
characters.I was first thinking about using the
add
operator and removing the regex within theEXPR()
. But I could not find any suitable regex function which works within that expression.I could imagine that I'm not the only one who would like to get rid of colors. Therefore I believe that an easy to use operator enhances readability of the pipeline and is less error-prone than a (potentially) hand-crafted regex.
Testing
Added unit tests and tested locally against Artifactory log files.
