Splunk Search

In a search, How do I get the next to the last value(or field)?

Explorer

I have data that looks like this;

When I perform my search the data returned by Splunk looks like this on the dashboard:

date="date" username="username filename="filename"  1000 bytes

You can see the problem... I can grab all of the "keyed" fields, but I can't get the value "1000 bytes" because it's not keyed. If I had AWK, I could grab the second to the last value of the string and I would be done.

Is there a way to grab the value "1000" above and place it into a value to inject into my tables???

Thanks

Yes you can use rex to grab 1000

Try this -

rex field=_raw "\"filename\" (?\S+) bytes"
