I'm having trouble getting a Field Extraction that I need and hope for some advice. Below are three examples.
Please let me know if you know something that can help.

I'm looking to extract the time duration for these GC events. It's this [number] right after total. can be like [1.1ms] or [1.1s] or 1.1m

>>> [gc][young][3755449][1020336] duration [1.1s], collections [1]/[1.4s], total [1.1s]/[4.2d]

Easiest would be

| rex field=_raw ".*duration\s\[(?<duration>.*?)\]"

This will capture everything in between the [] after the word "duration". So in your examples, it would be "1.1s", "999ms", and "814ms". Is that what you're looking for?
