Regex Hostname for multiple scenario

Hi,

I have log which the field name is called "name". The regex cannot get the hostname from the name field because have multiple scenario. Eg as below:

(DR) HostA-AIX-172.0.0.0-root

01-HostA-10-Cambodia-Cisco_Router-10.0.0.0-root1

172.0.0.0-Malaysia-Windows Server 2016-HostA-admin

172.0.0.0 - HostA-Indonesia-Win2012-172.0.0.0-admin

3D-(DR) HostA-Win2003-172.0.0.0 [NAT IP 192.0.0.0] (dmin)

AD-HostA.local-srv_AB_CDD

HostA-India-Solaris10-172.0.0.0-root

These are the sample inconsistent log that we need to get Hostname. The highlighted one should we get for the hostname.

Please assist on this by creating new regex

Hi

Have you any document which describes your naming policy? Or should we just guess which part are standard like 

  • (DR)
  • Country-Cisco_Router-<IP>-<content>
  • <IP>-Country-Server type-<host>-<user>

etc.
