Hi,

I am trying to break the events based on the timestamp. 

File contains multiple time formats. 

sample Time stamps: 

01 January 2021 10:21:66
2021年01月01日 金曜日 10:07:54 AM
2021年01月01日 金曜日 14:54:03
2021年01月01日 12:55:54 PM
2021年01月01日 13:54:54
2021年1月1日 20:59:04
2021年1月1日 9:23:32 AM
金曜日, 3 1月 2021 11:49:45 AM
Monday 3 January 2021 14:01:40
Monday, 3 January 2021 11:05:11 AM
Monday, January 3, 2021 10:04:44 AM
Thu Jan 7 22:33:44 EST 2021

Sample events:

07 January 2021 18:21:56


Employee1


Project Project Name Project Owner
------ ---------- -----------
A Y: \\Owner1\owner2
B Z: \\owner_1\owner 2
C g: \\owner11\owner12\owner 13

Friday, January 8, 2021 10:04:44 AM


Employee2


Project Project Name Project Owner
------ ---------- -----------
A Y: \\Owner1\owner2
B Z: \\owner_1\owner 2
C g: \\owner11\owner12\owner 13

2021年01月08日 金曜日 10:07:54 AM

 

Employee3


Project Project Name Project Owner
------ ---------- -----------
A Y: \\Owner1\owner2
B Z: \\owner_1\owner 2
C g: \\owner11\owner12\owner 13

I tried with datetime.xml but it didn't work. 

Expected output:

Break events before timestamp and show results in the below tabular format.

Employee1 A Y: \\Owner1\owner2
Employee1 B Z: \\owner_1\owner 2
Employee1 C g: \\owner11\owner12\owner 13

in props.conf:

LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+).*\d\d\:\d\d\:\d\d($| [AP]M| \w{3} \d{4})

After that, please rex it.

Of course.
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
right?

sample:

 

 

sourcetype=your_sourcetype
| rex "(?m)(?<employee>^\w+$)"
| rex "(?ms)----$\s(?<csv>.*)"
| rex field=csv max_match=0 "(?m)(?<project>\S+)\s(?<project_name>\S+)\s(?<project_owner>.*)"
| table employee project*
