 I have a field "facilityAlias" for which location can be changed in every api log file. I have to extract that field using Regex method. I have tried Regex statement but not getting expected result.

Regex statement: rex field=_raw "facilityAlias\":\"(?<facility>.*)\","

expected result: Parc de Salut Mar Barcelona
current result: Parc de Salut Mar Barcelona","systemName":"CMPSB

 

Sample Log file:

Hi @MrIncredible,

you can use:

 

| rex "facilityAlias\":\"(?<facility>.*)\",\"systemName"

 

or (better):

 

| rex "facilityAlias\":\"(?<facility>[^\"]*)"

 

that's more generic and you can test at https://regex101.com/r/jnbSgk/1 .

Ciao.

Many thanks @gcusello for your quick reply. 2nd option will work as in 1st option i don't want to restrict it with particular postfix.
