Ingest processor rex problem

Hi,

I am new to Ingest Processor and have had some success but am having an issue with the rex command so I have created a very simple example copied from the manual here https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SCS/current/SearchReference/RexCommandExamples#2._Regular_expr...

But I am getting this error:

Any ideas why?

Thanks

  1. Traditional SPL: (?<name>pattern)
  2. SPL2 (Edge/Ingest Processor): (?P<name>pattern)

but section 3 has the P
