extract multiple events into multiple fields using rex

i2sheri — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:20:37 GMT

I have events in below format from an XML source. I want to extract below values in to separate events into fields status, start and end

I tried

...| table temp | mvexpand temp | rex field=temp "(?<status>.*)#(?<start>.*)#(?<end>.*)#"

but no luck

It works with

| table temp | mvexpand temp | rex field=temp "(?<status>.*)#(?<start>.*)#(?<end>.*)"

Just removed the # at end
and removed

| xmlkv

from base search
