Hi,
I want to find results after timestamp in below results i.e. to separate "[2012-09-28 08:46:22,410]" & the message in each entry.
[2012-09-28 08:46:22,410] [ERROR] Device 6642(matt) encountered error. Error: ClientError: Bad Request
[2012-09-28 08:46:38,277] [WARNING] Client PPC-6DFF06C758C(7162, 7013, reported: Backup failed. Error: Quota limit reached. (#10000000e)
Please help...
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

So, to be able to filter your search results based on the log message excluding the initial timestamp, first of all extract that text to a field. This can be done with the rex command:
... | rex "^.+?\]\s+(?<logmessage>.+)"
Then simply run dedup on this field, which will cause Splunk to drop all events that have duplicate values of an event it has already seen:
... | rex "^.+?\]\s+(?<logmessage>.+)" | dedup logmessage

My bad, I seem to have dropped a ? sign at the beginning of the matching group. It should (?<logmessage>...), not (<logmessage>...). Editing my answer to correct that.

Can you give the syntax applicable in this case...all these entries are coming in single field in my case.
Thanx,
Amit

Remove how? dedup? You could just extract the text after the timestamp as a field, or just some other specific part of the event text, and then dedup that to get rid of duplicates in your search results...

I don't understand - do you want the text after the timestamp to be in a separate, timestamp-less event? Why? What's the use-case?
