Hi @Khushboo,

you have to define a rule to extract fields:

if you cadn define that:

  • from the beginning to the first "-" it's the "service_name",
  • from the service_name to ":" it's the host,
  • after there's the port;

this regex can work.

In other words if you can define a rule, you can use a regex otherwise you cannot!

Ciao.

Hi @Khushboo,

Please, try this regex:

| rex "(?<service_name>[^-]+)-(?<host>[^:]+):(?<port>\d+)"

Hi @gcusello ,

Thanks for your reply.
In my case all the variables like service_name, host and port are dynamic. so i cant hard-coded that.
