Solved: How to edit my rex search to extract two different... - Splunk Community

Splunk Search

Current search:

search "xxx" | rex field=_raw "api:(?\s\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+)"

I'm using the rex command, but it does not return the expected result when there are two IP addresses.

Solution

If both IPs are in the same event with "api" before it, you can use max_match, like this

search "xxx" | rex max_match=0 field=_raw "api:\s?(?<IP>\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+)" | mvexpand IP | table IP

If they are not in the same event, will need to see some sample events.
