Google SecOps grok filter gains a match_all option

Dated 2026-09-15. Checked 2026-11-04.

Google Security Operations release notes dated 2026-09-15 add a match_all option to the grok parser filter. The option extracts all non-overlapping matches in a field (Google release notes, read 2026-11-03).

A parser change moves which fields a rule can see. Rules in Google SecOps run over parsed data, so a parser edit is the kind of schema change that can make a rule go quiet. The release note describes a syntax option, not a change that breaks rules.

What it changes for a buyer

If you edit a parser, replay the rules that read its fields before and after. The release note adds a capability and carries no warning for existing rules.
