[Bro] http.log reorder and skip fields, how?

[Dalton Porter]

Seth, thanks for the info. I tried this:
event bro_init() &priority=5
 {
 Log::create_stream(HTTP::LOG, [$columns=Info, $ev=log_http]);
 local filter: Log::Filter = [$name="myfilt", $path="myfilt", $include=set("id.orig_h","id.resp_h","ts")];
 Log::add_filter(HTTP::LOG,filter);
 }
 
But in the output file, the fields are ordered ts,orig,resp.  Can I control the ordering?
Is there an easy way to change field separator?
Thank you.

> Hello All.   It appears that the data in http.log is a listing of the Info fields which have the &log attribute.  I can see how to add fields by redefining record Info using the += syntax.  However, I want to customize the output by removing some fields and reordering others.  What is the proper way to do this?  Can the field separator be adjusted? I don't want to actually "remove" fields, I just don't want some of them displayed.  I also didn't want to parse the bro output with a shell script to reformat it, I would like to have bro write the data out the way that I need it.

Read this blog post:

And this documentation:

If you still have questions I'd be glad to answer.  I do agree that we are missing the ability to modify flags on record fields though.  I haven't been able to think of a good syntax for that though.
