Hi @pavanbmishra,

you shouldn't need to extract the srcip field because Splunk automatically recognizes the pairs "field=value".

Anyway, you can extract the value of srcip using the following regex:

| rex "srcip\=(?<srcip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)"

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

Ciao.

Hi @pavanbmishra,

sam answer: you don't need field extractions, but if you want you can use one or three  similar regexes:

one regex

| rex "applist\=\"(?<applist>[^\"]+)\"\s+action\=\"(?<action>[^\"]+)\"\s+ appcat\=\"(?<appcat>[^\"]+)\""

three regexes:

| rex "applist\=\"(?<applist>[^\"]+)\""
| rex "action\=\"(?<action>[^\"]+)\""
| rex "appcat\=\"(?<appcat>[^\"]+)\""

Ciao.
