Hi

How can I extract first occured this "User ABC123 invalid"  with rex?

Here is the log:

Thanks,

Hi @indeed_2000,

if your want to extract the message after "LoginException", you could use the following regex:

| rex "LoginException:\s+(?<message>.*)"

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/Gz7glo/1

Ciao.

Doesn't this give the second occurrence not the first?
