Hi,

My log looks like this. I am trying to get the average response time by service.

ServiceInvoker (service_A) : executeFlow : Time Take is = 3378
ServiceInvoker (service_B) : executeFlow : Time Take is = 378
ServiceInvoker (service_C) : executeFlow : Time Take is = 338

Here is what i have:

 index=app  |rex '\ServiceInvoker\s+"((?<service>\S+))"\s+:\s+executeFlow\s+:\s+Time\s+take\s+is\s+=\s+(?<response_time>\d+)'   | stats  sparkline(avg(response_time),1m) as processTime_trend, avg(response_time),count BY service 

The brackets that are surrounding the service name is causing an issue for retrieving the results. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try this:

index=app 
|rex field=_raw "(.*|^)ServiceInvoker\s*\((?<service_name>[^\)]+)\)\s*.*Time\s*Take\s*is\s*\=\s*(?<respTime>[\d]+)"
| stats  sparkline(avg(respTime),1m) as processTime_trend, avg(respTime),count BY service_name

Do you need all the line in the regex? If not, you can do like this:

index=app  | rex "Time Take is =\s(?<respnse_time>\d+)"  | stats  sparkline(avg(response_time),1m) as processTime_trend, avg(response_time),count BY service

Hi @Chanukhya,

Just escape the ( with a backslash.

https://regex101.com/r/BTBkvw/1

ServiceInvoker\s+\((?<service_name>\w+)\)\s+:\s+(?<service_flow>\w+)\s+:[^=]+=\s(?<response_time>\d+)

Try this

*UPDATED

index=app  |rex "[^\(]+\((?<servicename>[^\)]+)\)[^=]+=[\s\t]+(?<response_time>\d+)"  | stats  sparkline(avg(response_time),1m) as processTime_trend, avg(response_time),count BY service

*OR*

index=app  |rex "[^\(]+\((?<servicename>[^\)]+)" | rex "=[\s\t]+(?<response_time>\d+)"  | stats  sparkline(avg(response_time),1m) as processTime_trend, avg(response_time),count BY service

It didn't worked as well, The service names are different and some service names has an underscore in the name and some dont. I am trying to get the average response times and count for each service, which is in between the brackets.

Do you see any results when you try this

index=app  | rex "[^\(]+\((?<servicename>[^\)]+)\)[^=]+=[\s\t]+(?<response_time>\d+)"  | table servicename response_time
