I'm trying to filter out events like the ones below using the regex expression

regex _raw!="^[A-Za-z0-9]{4}:.*$"

 

but its not working.  Can someone help me with this?

 

Events

0000: 00 025e 28:0a000c5f call 0a000c5f

0000: 04 025d 14 ldnull

007a: 00 021d de:2a leave.s :0000=>01 0249 11:07 ldloc.s 07

When I included the | the regex expression worked

| regex _raw!="^[A-Za-z0-9]{4}:.*$"

What function does | perform?

Hi @pjanssen007,

could you better describe what you mean with " its not working"

Anyway, please try this:

| regex _raw!="[A-Za-z0-9]{4}.*$"

 Ciao.

Hi @pjanssen007,

regex is a command stats must be located after a pipe.

Does it runs?

Ciao.
