Inline field extractions in props.conf not working

[Danny_Williams]

I've read the documentation for inline field extractions and I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. I've added a props.conf file to my test app with the following:

[emm_syslog]
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)
category = Application
disabled = false
EXTRACT-emm_syslog = <(?<priority>[\d]+)>\d (?<timestamp>\S+) (?<hostname>\S+) (?<app_name>\S+) (?<proc_id>\S+) (?<msg_id>\S+) \[(?<sd_id>\S+) auditType=\"(?<audit_type>\S+)\" tenantId=\"(?<tenant_id>\S+)\"\] (?<message>.*)

This regex matches my test event on regex101.com:

<135>1 2024-01-02T14:34:51.429Z TestServer EMM_Console 9176 FULL [emmAudit@18060 auditType="Console" tenantId="EMM"] "Console","2024-01-02T14:34:51.429+00:00","username","127.0.0.1","","CCON0030","Admin Login",,"Info","SUCCESS","0",,"Admin User Login Success (HTTPS)"

Within the Search app, however, none of these capture groups are extracted. Am I doing something obviously wrong here, or how should I proceed with troubleshooting ?

Check your permissions in local.meta or default.meta of your test app.

If you want this extractions to work in other app contexts then you may need to export and make it readable to your desired roles.

Example:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<test_app>/metadata/local.meta

[props/emm_syslog/EXTRACT-emm_syslog]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin ]
export = system

Ahh yes it works now, thank you! I was going crazy trying to think of reasons the regex wasn't matching.
