Hello,  
It is possible to have bro log output (the same log for example http.log) in different file names and format one ascii and another json ? For example http\_ascii.log and http\_json.log

There is a package that provides more or less exactly this functionality: [https://github.com/J-Gras/add-json](https://github.com/J-Gras/add-json)

If you have installed the Bro Package Manager:  
bro-pkg install add-json
