How to write the regex to extract the IP Address, but not CIDr notations from my sample data?

Hello,

I am trying to extract fields from a feed that I have, but the automated field extractor is not working for me though. I want to tag the IP address at the very end of every line and call it 'src_ip'. However the automated tool picks up the two CIDr notations every time as well as the IP address at the end of the line.

I am looking for Regex that will only pickup the IP address at the end of each line, and NOT the CIDr notations.

Would really appreciate somebody to provide me with the Regex it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Here you go:

^([^\s]+\s+){6}(?P<src_ip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
