Hi @Bala,

when you say "filter" are you meaning at search time or before indexing?

if at search time, you can insert the condition in the main search:

index=your_index ("ABCDEFG :::{\"status\":400" OR "ABCDEFG :::{\"status\":500")
| ...

if before indexing, you have to follow the documentation at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.5/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad#Filter_event_data_...

Ciao.

Hi @Bala,

let me understand, is your problem extracting the status field from your logs or what else?

if you want to extractthe status field, you can use a regex, but before a question: are you sure that in your logs there is a backslash "\" before quotes?

if yes, you can use the following regex:

| rex field=message "status\\\":(?<status>\d+)"

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

if not, you can use the following regex:

| rex field=message "status\":(?<status>\d+)"

Ciao.

Giuseppe
