I am trying to do a field extract but running into problems

Here is an example event. I am trying to build a regex to extract the signatures field (IP Fragmentation, DNS Amplification). The signature can be different for each event so I need to extract everything between the () after the word signatures. Can someone help me with a regex? My attempts are only returning partial events

is this you looking for?

signatures\s\((?<signature_value>[^\)]+)\)

Example: https://regex101.com/r/3sEpdC/1

So your search would be something like

... | rex  "signatures\s\((?<signature_value>[^\)]+)\)"
