How to extract field with variable field

In transforms.conf I can use DELIMS to extract the field by fixed format.

My question is, if one of the field is changeable, how can we resolve that?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi @michael_wong,

You can use host based transforms to achieve this. Define new transform setting  And call this transform using host stanza.

Hi @scelikok,

Thanks for your answer. Can you tell more about how to make priority?

I have made the change, but looks it didn't take effect. If two report defined in transform.conf, which one will take effect?

Here is defined precedences over source, host, sourcetype https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Propsconf.

Can you share your configurations, so we can easier help you.

Are those in some log file/feed or are they from different source/logs?

No, they are same source, but have a bit difference since configuration inconsistent
