Getting Data In

Extract key=value into field

[cmd_data=list cm device recusive]

splunk auto extracts just [cmd_data=list]


End result - be able to filter on cmd data and get the full cmd / mutiple values.

 

Will these configs work?

transforms.conf
[full_cmd]
SOURCE_KEY = cmd_data
REGEX = (cmd_data)\S(?<full_cmd>.*)
FORMAT = full_cmd::$1

props.conf
EXTRACT-field full_cmd

Hi @splunkville 

No, this will not work because the source key (cmd_data) contains the shortened version which has been broken up due to the space.

Your transforms.conf and props.conf configs need adjustment. To extract the full value after cmd_data=, use this in transforms.conf:

== props.conf ==
[yourSourceytype]
REPORT-full_cmd = full_cmd

== transforms.conf ==
[full_cmd]
REGEX = cmd_data=([^\]]+)\]
FORMAT = full_cmd::$1

The REGEX captures everything after cmd_data= up to the "]". 
 REPORT- in props.conf applies the transform at search time.
