Path Finder

During the splunk server restart and written into _internal index the error reported below is displayed - seems to be introduced by the default configuration on which the app is provided.

Well, any help you that you could give us to solve the error would be appreaciated.

I found you need to move the hyphen to the end of your capture group.

[\w\.-]

instead of:

[\w-\.]

The full line would be:

<malware\sname=\"(?<malware_name>[\w\.-]{1,30})\"\s*(sid=\"(?<malware_sid>\d*)")?\s*(stype=\"(?<malware_stype>[\w-]{1,30})\")?

This means that the regex string in the inline field extraction called malware-info_for_fireeye is deemed not correct.
Go to Settings-->Fields-->Field Extractions.
First thing I would do is check if the regex there has not been modfied from the original app by anyone.

It looks to me like it has been modified maybe?
The original is <malware\sname=\"(?<malware_name>[\w-\.]{1,30})\"\s*(sid=\"(?<malware_sid>\d*)")?\s*(stype=\"(?<malware_stype>[\w-]{1,30})\")?

Second I would use regex101.com or regexr.com to check if the regex string is actually correct and works as design
