Its has unique format like [ parameter : mailboxName | value : mail\tdev2.nsf], how to extract the data with parameter name and its value?

[2017-11-06]T[16:33:21.122]Z 31 WebContainer : 4 WARNING [ parameter : mailboxName | value : mail\xdevx.xxx];[ parameter : userID | value : CN=Test Dev2/OU=US/O=xxxDEV];[ parameter : OPERATION | value : SEARCH ];[ parameter : session | value : eSbBsoxxxxxx_O9AIxxxxxx ] [com.xxx.xxx.actions.MainAction: execute]

Please advise.

Hi mayank141,

you can use the search time reporting transforms in props.conf and transforms.conf to get this captured:
props.conf

[mySourceType]
REPORT-myUniqueClassName = myTransform

transforms.conf

[myTransform]
REGEX = \[\s\w+\s:\s(\w+)\s\|\s\w+\s:\s([^\]]+)
FORMAT = $1::$2

This will capture the value after parameter : as field name and the value after value : as value of the field.

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
