Hi Team,

I am having a logging with double pipe separator (||) and need to get the key values from logs.

Log pattern:-

logs ........|ab-c=1234||xy-z=1598||cd-e=5ab4||....more logs

Need to fetch table to with values of (ab-c,xy-z,cd-e).

Till now i tried

search | dedup ab-c, cd-e,xy-z | table ab-c, xy-z, cd-e

but its not working. Please suggest

Hi @iamlucky92 ,

I added a file with your sample line in it to my lab.
The fields and values were extracted automatically, without any regex or conf file manipulation.

The automatic key value field extraction worked just fine.

How is this data coming in on your side? Could you share the props.conf that deals with it?
Also an example of the whole event would be helpfull.
