Default Parser

A default parser is used when you want to extract logs from a specific location which is not connected to the service.

Example:

If your integrating a service with SnappyFlow, in order send the logs to snappyFlow you have add the logging plugin section in the config.yaml file. The logging section will contain the plugin name and the location of the logs that need to be extracted. In case while integrating the service, if you want send few more logs from a specific location which are not a part of this service. Then, you have add a default parser plugin section in the config.yaml file.
