Hello,

I am trying to use sub search to extract fields from my JSON logs. I tried with spath and also with Rex  commands, I ended up with the below error:

 

Error in 'rex' command: Invalid argument: '(' 

 


Here is the sample log form on of the events:

Can someone help me with how to use sub search with Spath or rex commands?
Basically, both the primary and sub queries will be using the Spath or rex command to extract few values from the above JSON.

A basic example will be good enough for me to try.splunk.png

Thanks for that!

However, I was looking to use that with sub search.

For both the primary and sub queries, I would need to use spath.
