Hello,

I need to create a dashboard which shows error messages & its count over the time. i have a logfile like below and i would like to extract the error message as a field.

"[syncservice] [ERROR] [20 Mar 2018 04:09:56,654] : [7dfhsdgw-4dgsj-ashgah-svahs5226] : [com.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx]: Failed to invoke service xxx.xxxxxx.xxxx.ConnectorException: IOException occurred for ServiceLogMessage while obtaining response: Connection to http://localhost:8080 refused"

based on @tiagofbmm 's answer, try this | rex field=_raw "ConnectorException:\s(?<ConnectorException>.*)"

you can test out regex's at this website: https://regex101.com/
it is a great place to learn and test out what you're doing.
