Iam trying to extract values brand market and cid from above url
with below query 

index  = dd | rex field=_raw "brand=(?<brand>[^&]+)" | rex field=_raw "market=(?<market>[^&]+)" | rex field=_raw "cid=(?<cid>\d+)" | table brand, market, cid




but I get the whole url after brand= getting extracted, not just brand market and cid values.

Please help

In one example, the brand field is terminated by a space rather than an ampersand so add \s to the regex.

index  = dd | rex field=_raw "brand=(?<brand>[^&\s]+)" | rex field=_raw "market=(?<market>[^&]+)" | rex field=_raw "cid=(?<cid>\d+)" | table brand, market, cid
