I have a field which contains various data, one of the data is the file hash. I would like to extract it to a field.

Tue Jul 15 09:32:03 CET 2019 app=testapp file_hash=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1234567890123456 os=linux

I would like to extract the file_hash: 32 chars only letters and numbers.

Many thanks.

This should do it.

... | rex field=foo "file_hash=(?<file_hash>.{32})" | ...

Hi Gyr1991,
I can provide following regex

file_hash\=(?<EXTRACTION1>\w+)\s+

or just for the letters and numbers:

file_hash\=(?<EXTRACTION1>[[:alnum:]]+)\s+

You can use one of them in the fields-extractor of splunk.

Hope this helps 🙂

Kind Regards,
Michael
