How to extract the field value which has space

Anush

Below is the sample field value from the event, 

 sourceServiceName=Endpoint Web analyzedBy=Policy Engine Status=New Success=True

By default, the field value detects only Endpoint and not the full text Endpoint Web

Som I used the below rex command but it didn't work,

rex "sourceServiceName=(?<sourceServiceName>[^\"]+)"    - This one fetches all the text starting from "Endpoint to end of that event" 

Also the value of the field sourceServiceName can be anything, i.e -Endpoint Web or Endpoint Printing Endpoint USB  etc. First word -Endpoint Second word -any can any word

I want to fetch only the value of field serviceSourceName

Can you please help?

Hi

you could try this

index=_internal
| head 1
| eval _raw = "sourceServiceName=Endpoint Web analyzedBy=Policy Engine Status=New Success=True Some=Other fields"
```Previous was set up the data, next one is the logic```
| rex "sourceServiceName=(?<sourceServiceName>[\w\s]+)\s+\w+="
