Hi to all, I'm new to the splunk use and I have an issue with a software that write logs in a non standard way (of my fresh knowledge of splunk)
{

"name":"clientLogger",
"level":30,
"levelName":"info",
"msg":"[audio] iceServers",
"time":"2018-08-27T19:32:57.389Z",
"src":"xxxxxx",
"v":1,
"extraInfo":{

"sessionToken":"e7boenucj1pwkbfc",
"meetingId":"183f0bf3a0982a127bdb8161e0c44eb696b3e75c-1535398242909",
"requesterUserId":"w_klfavdlkumj8",
"fullname":"Ios",
"confname":"Demo Meeting",
"externUserID":"w_klfavdlkumj8"
},
"url":"xxxx",
"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0",
"count":1
}
and in splunk the log are:
alt text

the only info I need are:
- time
- fullname
- confname

But regex don't work and I don't recognize how to set only the proper field!
Some help or how to guide would be helpful!
Thanks in advance!

rex should work. You didn't say what you tried, so we can't say what you might have done wrong. Try this:

index=foo
| rex "time\":\"(?<time>[^\"]+)"
| rex "fullname\":\"(?<fullname>[^\"]+)"
| rex "confname\":\"(?<confname>[^\"]+)"
| table time, fullname, confname

make props.conf

SEDCMD-trim = s/.*?\]//g
TRUNCATE = 0
INDEXED_EXTRACTION = none
KV_MODE = json
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

You can see the fields {}.time , extraInfo{}.fullname and extraInfo{}.confname
