I am trying to extract the name of log output but struggling with how to. I have this query

<query>index=dap ("user login Time") </query>

That I have a log that outputs

log: [2m2021-11-19-t18:27:42.996z [22m [34m auth [39m [32minfo user login time, Justin [ ...

stream: stdout

time:  2021-11-19-t18:2742.99648142z

 

I want to output only the time and username:

Time:                                         user:

2021-11-19-t18:27:42.     Time, Justin

Assuming time has already been extracted (_time) on indexing, you could try this to get the user

| rex "user login\s+(?<user>[^\[]+)\s\["
