EVE log does not support customformat

Feature #1191: EVE log does not support customformat

Description

HTTP logging with EVE log does not support the customformat tag. It would be beneficial to have consistent features between EVE logging and regular http-log which does support the customformat tag.

This is similar to #1150 where tls.store can not be used with EVE log.

Does this do what you need? https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/956

It allows for extra logging of http headers, although it's limited to a hardcoded list currently: https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/956/files#diff-544ba33b2a4e8950a3c135a9717f319dR130

A few things that we would like to see in addition to this are some of the things identified in #602:
Cookie parsing: ex "%{Foobar}C"
Max length: ex: "%[100]{Referer}i"

Also I did not see User-Agent in this list.
If HTTP_FIELD_SIZE could be broken up into request size and response size that would also be helpful.

  • Tracker changed from Bug to Feature

UA is printed to the log by default. On the rest: sensible requests :)

Closing as rejected, as I don't think a custom format makes sense for the EVE log. EVE is structured output; instead of allowing custom formats, we add more fields that then allow custom formats to be built up in post-processing. If we are missing fields, please open a new ticket specifically for the fields you are interested in having logged.
