Hi,

I have the below data and query (with Regex), what I'd like to have the Regex do is extract ALL occurrences of MAC and RSSI values. Is there any way it can do that?

index="camera_status" sourcetype=access_combined_camerastatus|rex "Premise=\s+(?<premiseid>\d+)"|rex "Mac=\s+(?<macid>[a-fA-F0-9\.:-]{12,17})"|rex "RSSI=\s+(?<rssiid>-\d+)"|where rssiid!=0|table premiseid, macid, rssiid

Hi dbcase,

add max_match=0 to all rex like

|rex max_match=0 "Premise=\s+(?<premiseid>\d+)"

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

A small tweak to your capture expression...

|rex max_match=0 field=foo "Mac=\s+(?<macid>[^\n\s]+)"
|rex max_match=0 field=foo "RSSI=\s+(?<rssiid>[^\n\s]+)"

Adding the - in there causes it to miss the third RSSI value, which has no hyphen. These stop on whitespace or end of line.
