I'm trying to extract 1 fields from a log line. Just trying to extract the email.

I cant extract a single field  and i get an error saying my rex has exceeded configured match_limit, consider raising the value in limits.conf.

Any suggestion of where I am doing wrong? Is that possible is my rex(as below) not right? Used the splunk cloud field extractor

 

Error in 'rex' command: regex="(?ms)^\d+\-\d+\-\d+\w+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+\+\d+:\d+\s+\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\s+\w+\-\w+\s+\d+\s+\-\s+\[\w+\s+\w+="\d+"\]\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+:\s+<\d+>\d+\s+\d+\-\d+\-\d+\w+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+\-\d+:\d+\s+\w+\-\w+\-\w+\s+\-\s+\-\s+\w+>@<\s+\{\s+"\w+":\s+"\d+\.\d+",\s+"\w+":\s+"\w+",\s+"\w+":\s+"\d+\-\d+\-\d+\w+\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+\w+",\s+"\w+":\s+"\w+\d+\w+\d+\w+\d+\w+/\d+\w+\d+\w+\d+\w+\d+\w+/\d+\w+\d+\w+=",\s+"\w+":\s+\{\s+"\w+":\s+"\w+\d+\w+\-\w+",\s+"\w+":\s+"\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+",\s+"\w+":\s+"(?P<sss>[^"]+)" has exceeded configured match_limit, consider raising the value in limits.conf
