Hey,
i need assistance in trying to figure out how to create a field and extract the text after that. I am not sure how to go about doing this. i have looked in the documentation and on here for questions that are similar, but nothing i try seems to work. Basically, in the logs I am searching, there is a string:
SERVERNAME\USERNAME
I want to create a field called username from the above entry. There is always a space after and before those two words and always the backslash. Here is what i have so far:
rex field=_raw "SERVERNAME\\:\s+(?<USERNAME>[^\s]+)"
But, I am not sure what i am doing wrong. Any help is gladly accepted. Thanks.
@synking, try this:
|rex "SERVERNAME\s\\\s(?<username>[^\s]+)"
Wait nvm it worked I was just putting it in the wrong field.
Thanks but even when i try that it does not seem to work. I get the search to complete but it shows everything in every log.
