There are multiple was to extract fields:
you can use the interactive field extration present in search

There is also the option to use the search -> sidebar -> extract more fields -> and use the automatic field extractor, though this is most often just a jumping-off point for your final field extractions.

You can write a search time field extraction under splunk -> settings -> field extractions. A field extraction will apply to a sourcetype and can be either an inline regex based extraction, or use a TRANSFORM from transforms. conf. 

You can also extract fields at indextime using transforms.conf on the indexer/HF
