Field Extractions off host name

Hello,

Our naming convention has a relatively strict set of rules on it.

e.g.
datacenter+envionmentnumber+securityzone+role+increment.
NY0099HTTPD001

Right now, I find myself add an extraction in EVERY source type I do to break that up as key value pairs for users. Is there a way to do this globally?

Adding to what @acharlieh has mentioned, if you mention the extraction under default stanza, it should take precedence and apply to every sourcetype.
Example

The following stanza extracts an ip address from _raw

EXTRACT-extract_ip = (?\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3})
[foo]
.......

[bar]

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Not in the UI, but I would think you could define a named REPORT outside of all stanzas in props.conf, or define it in a wild carded stanza:
