I'm working on some analysis of Apache logs. Our logs happen to capture the cookies the browser communicates it has and we log it with the request. Right now I can import that long string fine, however I'm wondering if there is a way to have an variable length array per line that lets me search for or perform corollations against individual cookies.
So, based on this message line
"message" => "x.x.x.x - - [30/Oct/2014:20:05:01 -0400] \"GET /js/plugins/backbone/backbone.modelbinding.min.js HTTP/1.1\" 304 - \"https://www.website.com/view/home\" \"Mozilla/4.0 (

;" + 304/304 1146/213/0 29420/47188900045680 0/5011 -/-/- \"x.x.x.x|-|-|x.x.x.x\"",
I can parse out the cookie and put it in it's own field in it's entirety. However is there a way for me to break up the key/value pairs and store them in an array associated with the log line entry?
["auserid" = "5286", "serviceid" = "08130xx",... etc.
Thank you.
