Field Extractions not working

[jlixfeld]

I'm trying to get field extractions to show up in the Interesting Fields.

My search string is as follows, and it completes successfully:

sourcetype=syslog rgw01.lab | rex field=_raw "%SEC-6-IPACCESSLOG.?.:  list (?P<log_acl_name>[A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+) \w+ (?P<log_acl_proto>\w+) (?P<log_acl_sip>[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})([(][0-9]+[)] |[ ])-> (?P<log_acl_dip>[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})(?P<log_acl_dport>[(][0-9]+[)][,]|[,])"

I would expect these field extractions to show up, but they do not:

log_acl_name
log_acl_proto
log_acl_sip
log_acl_dip
log_acl_dport

I tried adding this to Settings > Fields > Field Extractions, but it still doesn't show up:

"%SEC-6-IPACCESSLOG.?.:  list (?P<log_acl_name>[A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+) \w+ (?P<log_acl_proto>\w+) (?P<log_acl_sip>[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})([(][0-9]+[)] |[ ])-> (?P<log_acl_dip>[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})(?P<log_acl_dport>[(][0-9]+[)][,]|[,])"

I ran this regex through www.regexr.com and it matched everything I was interested in, so I used that as a template to construct the rex:

 %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOG.?.: list [A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+\:[A-Z]+ \w+ \w+ ([\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})([(][0-9]+[)] |[ ])-> ([\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3}\.[\d]{1,3})([(][0-9]+[)][,]|[,])

Here's some sample events:

I'm not sure what else I might need to do... Any advice?

Thanks.

I see there is an extra space in your regex before word 'list'. I just removed it and your regex expression worked for your sample logs.

Son of a ... Damn, how careless of me. Thanks, seems to work now.

Thanks. Original post updated to include sample data.

please provide a sample of the events to verify the rex.
