i'm using the below regex, on geg101 it extracts just fine but on splunk it exctracts a huge chunk.

 rex field=_raw "\Drun\.name\D:\D(?<Business_Process>.+)\D,\Drun.u"

 

i get below result in splunk

don’t forget to replace double quotes from your keyboard. Double quotes may not match as I am typing from them my phone.
