hi, I have a string int the following format:

msg: Logging interaction event { eventId: '12dea8c0-dfb2-4988-9e97-314dd6243918', eventAction: 'Failed', eventType: '123event', eventSubtype: '1234eventsub', domainName: 'common', appName: 'authentication', containerName: 'root', containerVersion: '0.0.973' }

i am unable to extract eventType and eventSubtype   because of text "Logging interaction event" how cna i get rid of this text and extract these fields

This should work:

 

| rex field=msg "(?<json>{[^\}]+})" | eval json=replace(replace(json,"(\w+):","\"\1\":"),"'([^']+)'","\"\1\"") | spath input=json

I like the way you fixed the quoting in the json.

You can use the rex command to strip out the undesired text, but I doubt it will help.  This example query still fails.

| rex "(?<field2>\{[\s\S]+})" 
| spath input=field2

The search log reports:

WARN  SPathCommand - Some events are not in XML or JSON format.  Fields will not be extracted from these events.
