Hi, 

I have a DNS logs with Parenthesis + numbers instead of Dots in the URL filed. 

How can I replace them with a Dots? 

Below are some examples from the logs. 

 

(5)_ldap(4)_tcp(5)cmp(6)_sites(3)rub(3)net(2)oz(0)
(4)wpad(3)rub(3)net(0)
(5)_ldap(4)_tcp(2)dc(6)_msdcs(9)dc(7)core(2)t4(3)rub(3)net(0)

 

 Thank you!

Use SED.

| makeresults | eval data="(5)_ldap(4)_tcp(5)cmp(6)_sites(3)rub(3)net(2)oz(0)
(4)wpad(3)rub(3)net(0)
(5)_ldap(4)_tcp(2)dc(6)_msdcs(9)dc(7)core(2)t4(3)rub(3)net(0)"
| rex field=data mode=sed "s/(\(\d+)\)/./g"
