JSON—Scuba's preferred data format. The JSON format is a flat set of name-value pairs (without any nesting), which is easy for Scuba to parse and interpret. If you use a different format, your data must be transformed into JSON format before it can be imported into Scuba.
Apache log format—Log files generated using mod_log_config. For details, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config .html- Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4. It's helpful to provide the mod_log_config format string used to generate the logs, as Scuba can use that same format string to ingest the logs.
CSV—Scuba accepts CSV format with some exceptions. First, ensure sure you have a complete header row. Next, ensure you are using a supported separator character (tab, comma, semicolon, or ascii character 001). Finally, ensure your separator is clean and well-escaped—for example, if you use comma as your separator, make sure to quote or escape any commas within your actual data set.
