Hi @AhmedAsimMetwally thanks for reporting!

Be sure to check out the docs while you wait for a human to take a look at this 🙂

Cheers!

NGINX AppProtect DOS only appears to support the splunk format: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-app-protect-dos/monitoring/security-log/

@brianehlert thanks for your reply but how did you come up with this conclusion as it's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation that it only supports Splunk format, especially since we have used custom format in the app protect waf but for some reason, it's not working with dos.

NAP WAF and NAP DOS are not the same code base for starters. So they differ in what options and how they support them.
