Hi All,

I have one requirement. 

I have one Dashboard in form of table and have one hyperlink column in it.

My hyperlink column is "url" and its like below:

https://ecp-dev.aexp.com:444//ni/?processGroupId=ef451556-016d-1000-0000-00005025535d&componentIds=f...

The issue here is after 444 there are two // it should be only one.

How can I parse this string. 

Can someone guide me.

Thanks in advance

Try fewer backslashes

| rex field=url mode=sed "s/\\/\\//\\//g s/https:/https:\\//g"

or

| rex field=url mode=sed "s/\/\//\//g s/https:/https:\//g"

You could try converting // to / and then put the double // back in after the https:

| rex field=url mode=sed "s/\\\/\\\//\\\//g s/https:/https:\\\//g"

(Not sure if the number of backslashes is correct)

Does it matter? Doesn't the browser handle it for you anyway?

I am getting the below Error. Can you guide me where I have gone wrong.

Error in 'rex' command: Failed to initialize sed. Invalid option string: /\\//g

Below is the query for the same:

<row>
<panel>
<table>
<search>
<query>index=abc sourcetype=xyz source="/nifi-user.log" $process_tok1$
| rex field=_raw "(?&lt;id&gt;[A_Za-z0-9]{8}[\-][A_Za-z0-9]{4}[\-][A_Za-z0-9]{4}[\-][A_Za-z0-9]{4}[\-][A_Za-z0-9]{12})"
| join type=outer id [inputlookup nifi_api_parent_chains_e1.csv]|search $ckey$|search $usr$|eval ClickHere=url| rex field=url mode=sed "s/\\\/\\\//\\\//g s/https:/https:\\\//g"
| table _time _raw host id parent_chain url
</query>
<earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
<sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
</search>
<option name="count">100</option>
<option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
<option name="drilldown">cell</option>
<option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
<option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
<option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
<option name="totalsRow">false</option>

<fields>["_time","_raw","host","id","parent_chain","url"]</fields>
<drilldown>
<condition field="url">
<link target="_blank">$row.url|n$</link>
</condition>
</drilldown>
</table>
