How to exract regex to my field

I am having events like below,

E.g. 1 Nov 7 10:18:49 111.222.333.444 Success user=abc userid=123 account=xyz
E.g.2 Nov 7 10:18:49 Success user=sdf userid=234 account=asdf destip=111.222.333.444

In some events (E.g. 1 ) we are having Destintation IP after the timestamp
But in some events (E.g. 2) we are having DestinationIP in a separate field named destip

How to write a regex for this to extract a single field as DestIP?
Could anyone help me with this?

Hello

Supposing that you only have one ip in each event you could extract it with this regex, no matter where it is located:

(?<destip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)

Regards

Ok, then use this one:

(\d\d\:\d\d\:\d\d\s|destip\=)(?<destip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
