Why are fields getting trimmed while fetching?

I have some error logs like below:

 

 

TYPE=ERROR, DATE_TIME=2022-12-31 03:30:27,281, CLASS_NAME=myClass, METHOD_NAME=myMethod, message=unknown error while fetching recordsjavax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: General SSLEngine problem
TYPE=ERROR, DATE_TIME=2023-01-19 00:38:09,013, CLASS_NAME=myClass, METHOD_NAME=myMethod, message=unknown error while fetching recordsjava.lang.IllegalStateException: could not create the default ssl context

 

 

I need to get the message field of these logs and to sort them based on _time. I am trying the below queries to get the same.

Query 1:

 

 

index="myIndes" host=myHost source="/my/app/location/app.log" TYPE=ERROR | extract pairdelim=",|" kvdelim="=" | table message | sort _time

 

 

Query 2:

 

 

index="myIndes" host=myHost source="/my/app/location/app.log" TYPE=ERROR | rex "^(?:(?<message>[^,]*),){7}" | table message | sort _time

 

 

But for both these queries, my response looks like below. Instead of getting the entire message field, I am getting just the first word.

 

 

--------
message
--------
unknown

 

 

Please help on how to achieve this.

Hi @Nidd,

You can use below query;

index="myIndes" host=myHost source="/my/app/location/app.log" TYPE=ERROR 
| rex "message=(?<message>.+)" 
| table message 
| sort _time
