  # With absolute time via `sysdig -t a`

  if [args] {

  }
}

output {
  #stdout { codec => rubydebug }
  elasticsearch {

}

I found that there were entries that didn't have args and I needed to make that optional to match everything,

Example:
668588 1397791558.575962749 2 >output (3257) < gettimeofday

^%{NUMBER:num:int} %{NUMBER:time:float} %{INT:cpu:int} %{NOTSPACE:procname} %{NOTSPACE:tid} (?[<>]) %{WORD:event} ?%{DATA:args}$
