How to create a rex for search?

I have the below log line:
Slow GraphQL query [8447ms]

How can I grab only the value "8447"?

Search-time? Index-time? Are all the events similar? Is that the whole event?

If you just want a search-time rex way with the example data being the whole event:

... | rex "\[(?P<ms>\d+)ms\]"

If it isn't the entire event, then use the field=yourfieldname option to the rex command.
