Hi,

How to write a regular expression to use to extract the domain name from the dest_host, like extracting the last character before second "."
for example:
stg-ec-ore-u.uplynk.com
7.tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com

stg-ec-norcal-u.microsoft.com

foxnews-f.akamaihd.net

cnnios-f.akamaihd.net

daarack02.vpg.cdn.yimg.com

redir.adap.tv

Required Output:
.uplynk.com
.microsoft.com

.akamaihd.net

.yimg.com
.adap.tv

Thanks somesoni2! It worked, is there a way to remove . before domain name.

Just remove the \. after <domain>. A more accurate version would be like this

your search | rex field=dest_host "\.(?<domain>[A-z0-9]+\.[A-z0-9]+)$"
