Summary

A simple way to create a log analytics log parser for CSV or other delimited files

Content

When creating a regex parse expression for a CSV delineated file, one approach that works fairly well is to use a series of regex captures like this:

([^,]*),

 

What this means is capture anything that is not a comma up until there is a comma following. You can then chain as many of these together as you need to capture the given log. In the example above, it shows 5 columns, so you would have a regex expression like this:

{TIMEDATE},([^,]*),([^,]*),([^,]*),([^,]*)

Note that you leave the comma off at the end.
