Hello,

i would like to create a statistic about following events:

example:

[2013-xxxxx], INFO,xxxxx,user[xxxxx],sessionid[xxxxxx], the duration for "xxxxxcommand":831 ms

[2013-xxxxx], INFO,xxxxx,user[xxxxx],sessionid[xxxxxx], the duration for "xxxxxcommand":200 ms

[2013-xxxxx], INFO,xxxxx,user[xxxxx],sessionid[xxxxxx], the duration for "xxxxxcommand":100 ms

I want to have a field with the values 831,200,100..

How it is possible, how can i extract the event?

Thank you in advance!

You can use the interactive field extractor (blue button next to events), provide it with the examples 831, 200, 100 and it should be able to extract them. If not, provide more examples / counterexamples.

Alternatively you can write your own field extraction using a regular expression, something along the lines of ":(?\d+) ms".
