  • Default value is "UTF-8"

The character encoding used in this input. Examples include UTF-8 and cp1252

This setting is useful if your log files are in Latin-1 (aka cp1252) or in another character set other than UTF-8.

This only affects "plain" format logs since json is UTF-8 already.

delimiteredit

  • Value type is string
  • Default value is "\n"

Change the delimiter that separates lines

formatedit

  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

Set the desired text format for encoding.
