Hi Team

i am trying to make below field regex which is coming in every single event. but its not allowing me to use same field name for 2 same type of entry as they coming in same single event.

for example:

{ "class1": { "student1": "123 rollnumber" }, "class2": { "student1": "123 rollno", "student2": "321 rollno" } }

1)class1 and class2 should be under Class field
if i search for class1 i should only find student 1 and related info. 
and 
if i search for class3  i should only find student 1 and related info. 

they will be in the field like class, student, number, and type of number 

Class fieldclass1class2 
student namestudent1student1 
number123123321
type of number rollnumberrollnorollno

Hi @cbiraris ,

you should create your report with the last two fields in one and then separate them using a regex, something like this:

<your_search>
| rename Class.student_name AS student_name Class.number AS number
| rex field=number "^(?<number>\d+)\s(?<type_of_number>.*)"
| table student_name number type_of_number

Ciao.

Giuseppe
