    The replace text feature is offered in the new IBM Cloud Logs offering today. IBM Cloud Logs is the new marketed service on IBM Cloud. The legacy Log Analysis service (aka LogDNA) is deprecated and outside scope of IBM consideration for enhancement to the legacy offering.


    Here is how you can accomplish the task with IBM Cloud Logs:

    1) From a Cloud Logs console, click the z shaped icon on the left hand navigation, then select the Replace parsing rule.

    2) Construct the replace rule replacing as follows. The Insert a sample log dialog box offers an easy way to test the rule before saving is with the Create rule group button in top right corner.
