Solved: Field extraction optimisation - Splunk Community

Splunk Search

I want to extract the recipient and sender domains from e-mail addresses that appear in my logs. I can extract them from _raw:

EXTRACT-ToDomain = (?i)to=<[^@]*@(?<ToDomain>[^>]*) EXTRACT-FromDomain = (?i)From=<[^@]*@(?<FromDomain>[^>]*)

or from existing fields:

EXTRACT-ToDomain = @(?P<ToDomain>[^>]*) in to EXTRACT-FromDomain = @(?P<FromDomain>[^>]*) in From

Is one method more efficient than the other?

Strictly speaking the second option would be a bit more efficient, but in reality I highly doubt you would be able to notice any difference.
