Hi,

You can use rex command

| rex field=source "\/opt\/Messaging\/JMS/(?P<nodename>[^\/]+)\/bin\/Nohub\.log"

Assuming you always want the fourth level of the source path, this should do the job.

sourcetype=XXX "Server has been shutdown" | rex field=source "/opt/Messaging/JMS/jms-node1/bin/Nohub.log" | table _time, host, tag::host, _raw,source,field
