Extracting filename from verbose message

gravi
Explorer

I am trying to write a splunk query to create a dashboard.

I have message from where I need particular part as filename

"Copying the file : /mount/logs/output/fileName.xml to : /mount/splunk/fileName.xml.pgp is started"

I need the part fileName.xml.pgp from the above message, how do I achieve this?

Thanks

try this:

index=<your_index> | rex "\/splunk\/(?<filename>[^\s]+)"

If it's not working then please give more sample inputs. This solution is on the assumption that it always follows the path /splunk/filename
