A schedule task on a Windows server runs a CHKDSK /SCAN on every logical drive. The resultant Message field looks like:

Chkdsk was executed in scan mode on a volume snapshot. Checking file system on I: The type of the file system is NTFS. Volume label is Drive_I.

I need to extract the 1541403647 and 1318988544 values from this field. I've tried a number of rex commands without success.

index=indexname sourcetype="WinEventLog:Application" host=hostname "total disk space"
| rex field=Message ".* required. (?\d+) KB .*"

I could use some assistance please.

Here seems to be your regex:

| rex field=_raw "\s(?<total_disk_space>\d+)\sKB total disk space.*\s(?<available_on_disk>\d+)\sKB available on disk"

Let me know

For some reason, it works when I split up the 2 values:
| rex field=_raw "\s(?\d+)\sKB total disk space"
| rex field=_raw "\s(?\d+)\sKB available on disk"

This is awesome. I was really close and can't see where my syntax error is. Thanks very much tiagofbmm.

Shouldn't have mentioned this. Just remove the first \s and you get with AND without a space. Thanks again.

I did find my error. Some of the instances for "total disk space" have a space to start and some don't. How do I get the value when there is NO space?
