I have multiple events which are coming as one
and I need to separate them into separate events in order to create a table and etc
Is there a way to do it in the search time?
{
"Timestamp": "2020-02-08T15:45:00.036Z",
"Query Parameters": "",
"RequestMethod": "POST",
"Request": "{tt}",
"Response": "{tt}",
"HTTPStatusCode": "200",
"TotalResponseTimeApprox.(ms)": "290.0",
"TargetResponseTime(ms)": "241.0"
}{
"Timestamp": "2020-02-08T15:45:00.334Z",
"Query Parameters": "",
"RequestMethod": "POST",
"Request": "{tt}",
"Response": "{tt}",
"HTTPStatusCode": "200",
"TotalResponseTimeApprox.(ms)": "290.0",
"TargetResponseTime(ms)": "241.0"
}

Thank you

Hi @khalid7assan,

Your event can be parsed with the following SPL:

| rex field=_raw max_match=0 "(?ms)(?<split_raw>\{.+?\})(?=\{|\s*$)"
| mvexpand split_raw

You can replicate the behaviour by copying and pasting the following code in Splunk:

| makeresults
| eval _raw = "
    {
    \"Timestamp\": \"2020-02-08T15:45:00.036Z\",
    \"Query Parameters\": \"\",
    \"RequestMethod\": \"POST\",
    \"Request\": \"{tt}\",
    \"Response\": \"{tt}\",
    \"HTTPStatusCode\": \"200\",
    \"TotalResponseTimeApprox.(ms)\": \"290.0\",
    \"TargetResponseTime(ms)\": \"241.0\"
    }{
    \"Timestamp\": \"2020-02-08T15:45:00.334Z\",
    \"Query Parameters\": \"\",
    \"RequestMethod\": \"POST\",
    \"Request\": \"{tt}\",
    \"Response\": \"{tt}\",
    \"HTTPStatusCode\": \"200\",
    \"TotalResponseTimeApprox.(ms)\": \"290.0\",
    \"TargetResponseTime(ms)\": \"241.0\"
    }
"

| rex field=_raw max_match=0 "(?ms)(?<split_raw>\{.+?\})(?=\{|\s*$)"
| mvexpand split_raw
| fields - _raw, _time

Output:

If you find any issues or your events are more complex than the one you included in your question, please post some more examples so that we can take a look.
