How do I get only the value that is before the ms?
Remember that this log is multiline, each statement is an event.

Ex: 13657, 5469, 6000

Hi
you can try something like this:

| rex "(?ms)(?<time>\d+)\s+ms\."

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/qjVfQW/1

Ciao.

you can try \.{70}(?<num>\d+) if the periods are always 70 in count. or \.(?<num>\d+)\s+ms
