Hi

this is not a json data. It could be part of if but not really full, working json.

If you have full json, it should be usable without any difficulties e.g. with spath if/when onboarding has done correctly.

If it's not working json then you must use e.g. rex command to get wanted values from _raw event.

| rex "\"reqUser\":\"(?<reqUser>[^\"]+)\",\"evtTime\":\"(?<evtTime>[^\"]+)\","
| rex "\"resource\":\"(?<resource>[^\"]+)\""
| table reqUser evtTime resource
