Splunk rex command

Hi Team,

Can someone Kindly help with a rex pattern for the below splunk log.

Attached a sample splunk log and rx pattern for reference.

Sample splunk log:

TransferStatus.Id:  "63636_#^#^#_#737373646_÷",
user=FileactiveHeartBeat,

Sample Rex command:

| rex "TransferStatus.Id: \\\\\"(?<transfer_id>.+?)\\\\\""

| rex "user=(?<customer>.+?),"

Need a similar rex pattern for the below splunk log

"transferId":"37373773-yeye-eueueh-9172",
"userName":"dudhkd",

The second log looks like JSON - why not process it as such?

Assuming you still want to use rex (not necessarily the best way to do this), you could try this

| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval _raw="TransferStatus.Id:  \"63636_#^#^#_#737373646_÷\",
user=FileactiveHeartBeat,
\"transferId\":\"37373773-yeye-eueueh-9172\",
\"userName\":\"dudhkd\","
| rex "TransferStatus.Id:  \\\"(?<transfer_id>.+?)\\\""
| rex "user=(?<customer>.+?),"
| rex "\"transferId\":\"(?<transfer_id_2>.+?)\""
| rex "\"userName\":\"(?<customer_2>.*?)\""
