Been working on sequence for the last 2 months - would love to discuss

Hi,

I have been working with sequence for the last two months extending it to output its patterns in syslog-ng patterndb and grok for Logstash formats. I have had to make a few changes to sequence code, largely around remembering where the spaces are, adding a database so we can decide to print the patterns on demand, rather than after each analysis, among other things.
It is in a company repo for now, but the goal is to make it available to the open source community.
I would love to discuss this with you.

Since I tried and couldn't contact the original author for weeks, I decided to migrate the project to leolee192/sequencer. Please visit leolee192/sequencer#15 for further activity, or to subscribe to receive notifications.

Hi @leolee192,

Thanks for the contact.

I worked on this earlier this year to extend it for use with syslog-ng, which may or may not be helpful to what you are wishing to do with it. I did a small amount of implementation for grok filter too, but it is only lightly tested, so approach with caution : ).

Currently my work on this is in semi-retirement while I focus on a few other things, but interested to hear what you are wanting to do with it and happy to try to answer any questions if you have them, I did a fairly through investigation of what the previous author did.

The code where I left it can be found here, https://github.com/ccin2p3/sequence

Cheers
Louise

Great! I'll study your code.
