Splunk Search

Why am I getting this error when using regex for URI search?

I have the following query to search results which contain a specific rest endpoint which has a UUID path parameter:

 

 

.... | regex requestURI="/baseurl/\b[0-9a-f]{8}\b-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-\b[0-9a-f]{12}\b

 

 

But it seems to be wrong. Error is :

 

 

Unknown search command '0'.

 

 

What is the mistake I am making here?

Splunk appears to be interpreting part of your regular expression as a subsearch. Make sure the expression is enclosed in quotation marks and any embedded quotation marks are escaped.

I tried this:

.... | regex requestURI=*/baseurl/\"[0-9a-f]{8}\b-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-\b[0-9a-f]{12}\"*

But this too doesn't work.

The regex command is still missing the enclosing quotation marks.
