Getting Data In

Transforms index time field extraction producing unexpected results.

The field extraction works for nearly all events, except for events where the line count is over 450. The returned value of the extraction for such events are about 27 lines long or 2500+ characters long. The field extractions ends with the following pattern (regex for security): \w+?\s|\s\d{9} and the pattern that follows the extracted field is =(\w+?.){5}\w+. I am aware that I should probably do this extraction and search time, but I have been overruled on that matter.

Here are some relevant configurations:
