Gatling unable to parse simulation.log generated by Gatling : Version 3.8.4

I am running my test using Gatling 3.8.4 which is generating simulation logs containing lines similar to

Sorry can’t post the entire log due to org policy
When I run the gatling.sh to generate logs I am encountering errors like

This is after I ran an AWK script on top the simulation logs to filter out specific lines based on number of columns

awk -F '\t' '(/^REQUEST/ && NF == 7) || (/^USER/ && NF == 4) || (/^GROUP/ && NF == 6) || (/^*/)  { print }'

Without the awk script, the gatling sh encounters similar errors.

./gatling-charts-highcharts-bundle-3.8.4/bin/gatling.sh -ro <LOG FOLDER>

Requesting assistant as it seems gatling sh is unable to parse logs generated by Gatling itself. Is there a patch or an upgrade which fixes this issue?

Have been running into similar problem and am still rummaging every possible link available . No luck yet… Any help will be highly appreaciated

Our log file is an internal, not for you to parse. Format/content is subject to change without further notice.

Hi @slandelle

In case I might have miscommunicated, we are not trying a custom parser to parse the log files. We are using gatling.sh from gatling bundle to process the log files into Gatling reports.

Without simulation.log that generate issue it’s hard to analyse this.
Additional information like System, JDK etc. will be useful.
This error is shown always?
When you get demo project and try to generate report you get the same error ?
Do you try if this issue is on Gatling 3.9.5 ?

First step is indeed to upgrade to 3.9.5.
