Hi,

For given sample data set, how can I extract all the numbers (will be always 3 digits) from desc?

 

 

 

| makeresults
| eval desc="Frankfurt (123) & Saarbrucken (456), Germany - Primary down / Secondary down"
| append
[| makeresults 
| eval desc="Frankfurt (123), Saarbrucken (456), Frankfurt Zeil (789) & Kaiserslautern (012), Germany - Primary up / Secondary up"]
| append
[| makeresults 
| eval desc="Test - Creteil - (123) - France - Primary Up // Secondary Up"]
| append
[| makeresults 
| eval desc="All devices at 456 London, England are alerting as down and unreachable"]
| append
[| makeresults 
| eval desc="Test - 123-Clonmel ( Ireland) - Primary DOWN / Secondary UP/ Switch UP"]

 

 

 

 

output required:

Can you please try the below search?

YOUR_SEARCH
    | rex field=desc "(?<loc>\d+)" max_match=0
    | eval loc = mvjoin(loc,",")

 

My Sample Search :

| makeresults 
| eval desc="Frankfurt (123) & Saarbrucken (456), Germany - Primary down / Secondary down" 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval desc="Frankfurt (123), Saarbrucken (456), Frankfurt Zeil (789) & Kaiserslautern (012), Germany - Primary up / Secondary up"] 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval desc="Test - Creteil - (123) - France - Primary Up // Secondary Up"] 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval desc="All devices at 456 London, England are alerting as down and unreachable"] 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval desc="Test - 123-Clonmel ( Ireland) - Primary DOWN / Secondary UP/ Switch UP"]
    | rex field=desc "(?<loc>\d+)" max_match=0
    | eval loc = mvjoin(loc,",")
|table loc

 

I hope this will help you.
