Hi @sekhar463,

could you share your full log?

the regex for the log you shared could be:

| rex "BGP_CONNECT_FAILED: (?<BGP_connection>.*)"

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/4s62eG/1

but to be more sure I nned the full log.

Ciao.

Hi @sekhar463,

you can automatically extract the field using the Field Extractor or the [Settings > Fields > ield Extraction > new Field] (in this case you have to identify the sourcetype for the Field Extractioj.

Ciao.

Hi @sekhar463,

check the sourcetype and wait some minute before testing the field extraction, it isn't immediate.

Ciao.
