I am trying to extract all of the text between

0416 12:45:59.50: ++++ SBCCTL STATS DUMP START (interval = 60) +++

and

0416 12:45:59.50: ++++ SBCCTL STATS DUMP END +++

and include those lines and all the lines in between into a single event.
This is what I have tried with no luck

inputs:

[monitor:///opt/splunk/testdata/*.log]
sourcetype=test
index = app
disabled = false

props:

[test]
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %m-%d %H:%M:%S.%2N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 32
TRUNCATE = 99999
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = true
TRANSFORMS-set = setnull, setnonull

Transforms:

[setnull]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[setnonull]
REGEX = ^.*START.*(?ms).*\+{3}
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

Testing the regex via an online tester selects the lines I am looking to extract. I am not sure of the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appeciated. Tks

[woodcock]

Try this:
In props.conf:

[YourSourcetypeHere]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = (?ms)(.*?)\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+:\s+\+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP START.*?\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+:\s+\+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP END \+\+\+
TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %m-%d %H:%M:%S.%2N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 32
TRANSFORMS-set = setnull, setnonull

In transforms.conf:

[setnull]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[setnonull]
REGEX = \+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP START
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

@woodcock Thank you, I was very hopeful in trying this out as I thought it would work, Unfortunately, when implementing these changes, I am not seeing any events via the search head.

Inputs

        [monitor:///opt/splunk/testdata/sbc*.log]
        sourcetype=test
        index = app_sbc
        disabled = false

Props

       [test]
        TIME_PREFIX = ^
        TIME_FORMAT = %m-%d %H:%M:%S.%2N
        MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 32
        SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
        LINE_BREAKER = (?ms)(.*?)\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+:\s+\+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP START.*?\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+:\s+\+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP END \+\+\+
        TRANSFORMS-set = setnull, setnonull

Transforms

        [setnull]
        REGEX = .
        DEST_KEY = queue
        FORMAT = nullQueue

        [setnonull]
        REGEX = \+\+\+\+ SBCCTL STATS DUMP START
        DEST_KEY = queue
        FORMAT = indexQueue

It definitely works; I tested it. Did you:

1) Deploy to the first full instance of Splunk that touches the data (HF or Indexer tier)?
2) Restart all splunk instances there?
3) Forward in new data (previous data will stay wrong forever)?
4) Test using `_index_earliest=-5m` to be absolutely sure that it is new data?

[somesoni2]

What do you want to do with lines before START and after END??

[fmatera]

Discard them. I thought set all to null and then extract what I need.
