So the logs changed from typical jason to this ...

 

"message":"type=\"CLIENT_LOGIN\", realmId=\"xxx\", clientId=\"xxx\", userId=\"xxx"

so splunk extracts for type this "\"

 

Now the searches do not work anymore

Hi @n3wbi3,

you have to create a new search using a regex to extract fields:

| rex "type\=\\\"(?<type>[^\\]+)"

the problem is that the log contains backslash and this is a provlem because in the search you have to use the above command or the following:

| rex "type\=\\\\\"(?<type>[^\\]+)"

Ciao.
