Hi.

I'll tell you how you said,

first,
Click the Settings button at the top right

second,
field button click

finall,
Press the Extract Field button and proceed.
The above operation can extract the field at the fastest speed from the standardized field.

Thank you

Create an index.
Create Index-Time Field Extractions and deploy to Indexers
Send events to index on Indexers
Create Search-Time Field Extractions and deploy to Search Heads.

MOST Search-Time Field Extractions can be created through the GUI on the Search Head (examples of exceptions include KV_MODE). If you are configured correctly, NO Index-Time Field Extractions can be configured through the GUI of Indexers.
