Hi,
i am using this expression - base search | rex field=uri "better\?q=(?[^&]+)$"
and i was expecting to return events which ends with having only q value but not having others as shown below.
better?q=GARAGE+DOOR+9+FT+WIDE
but it is showing all the events which have values after & (startIndex=000041&itemsperpage=0030)
better?q=GARAGE+DOOR+9+FT+WIDE&startIndex=000041&itemsperpage=0030
Any idea what i am missing here?
Try this (run anywhere)
|stats count | eval uri="better?q=GARAGE+DOOR+9+FT+WIDE##better?q=GARAGE+DOOR+9+FT+WIDE&startIndex=000041&itemsperpage=0030" | table uri | makemv delim="##" uri | mvexpand uri
| regex uri="better\?q=([^&]+)$"
<<Your base search with field uri >> | regex uri="better\?q=([^&]+)$"
That is just a syntax to get example data to work on(since I don't have sample logs). Just replace everything before "regex" command with your base search.
i see that you are using eval for the acutal uri i gave. But I just gave an example to show you what i want. I have lot of events like that. I cannot put all of those in my search query right?
I had success in RegExr with this string:
better\?q=([^&]+)&
