How to edit my regex to extract multiple values for a field?

Hello,

There is one event.

ex)Normal|2016-05-18 10:52:37|123|119.21.7.28|10460|tcp|52.1.2.157|68|allowed|72|12|External|71.100.3.17|17|ftp

I would like to extract multiple values in one field using regular expressions.

Example:

index=network | head 1| rex "(?\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})"

Right now, only one of the field values is extracted.
Example: ip_addr = 119.21.7.28

I want:
ip_addr = 119.21.7.28
ip_addr = 52.1.2.157
ip_addr = 71.100.3.17

You'll probably want to add the optional parameter max_match=<int> and set it to 0 for unlimited matches.

index=network | rex max_matches=0 "(?<ip_addr>\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3})"

Give that a whirl and report back if that's what you need!
