Hi, so I try to use Field Extractor (in Extract new fields) to extract some fields from raw logs to make a table. I have successfully show it on my end but other can't. So I want to apply the query that it auto generate in my own search. The query is:

^[^>\n]*>\s+\w+<(?P<Portname>[^>]+)[^:\n]*:\s+(?P<Status>\w+) at <(?P<IP>[^:]+):(?P<Port>[^>]+)

How do I apply it to Splunk search?

Hi @phamxuantung ,

If the fields are only visible to you but other can't .It means the extractions which you have created are in private.Make it global then others can make use of it.

If you want to put it in search then use the 

Rex command

|rex "^[^>\n]*>\s+\w+<(?P<Portname>[^>]+)[^:\n]*:\s+(?P<Status>\w+) at <(?P<IP>[^:]+):(?P<Port>[^>]+)"

If this answer helps you then upvote it.
