Need help with a Rex command

Hi,

I am trying to extract "Sync_State" from the below logs types:

log1:  Synchronization : In Sync

log2: Synchronization : Out of Sync

I created the rex command "(?ms)Synchronization\s:\s(?<Sync_State>\w+\s\w+)". Using this I am getting "In Sync" in the right way but for "Out of Sync" I am getting only "Out of". 

Please help me create a rex command to extract the field values in the desired way.

 

Thank you.

OK either just remove the $ or add State to the end

rex "(?ms)Synchronization\s:\s(?<Sync_State>[\w\s]+Sync)\sState"

| rex "(?ms)Synchronization\s:\s(?<Sync_State>[\w\s]+Sync$)"

Although, without the complete log entry, it may be that $ is inappropriate and something else would be better suited to denote the end of the value

Hi ITWhisperer,

Thank you for your response. However it didn't work for me.

If you want to check the complete log entry then please find it below:

log1: Mon Jan 25 19:07:03 EST 2021 Node Id :47337 Node State : Not running Synchronization : In Sync State : Stopped Number of template version : 6

log2: Mon Jan 25 19:07:03 EST 2021 Node Id :47337 Node State : Running Synchronization : Out of Sync State : Stopped Number of template version : 6
