Hi @edfigue,

If the string looks similiar all the time, you could do it on searchtime with rex:

 

| rex field=Description "\/localhost\_(?<new_field>\S*)\)"

 


If it is not everytime "localhost_" in front of the data you need you would have to change it to something more generic.

Hope it gives you an idea.
