I am trying to extract the username into a field that I can use and have so far been unsuccessful. I am doing this based off the log entries below.
Mar 4 17:20:43 hostname sudo: [ID 702911 local2.notice] username : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/export/home/username ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/su -
Mar 7 11:44:47 hostname sudo: [ID 702911 local2.notice] user : TTY=pts/5 ; PWD=/export/home/user ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/su -
I have tried this search and regex but have been unsuccessful. If the username is a different length it won't pick it up. Also, it doesn't seem to pick up all occurrences of the same name either.
sudo "COMMAND=/usr/bin/su"
| rex "(?i)\\.notice\\] (?P<FIELDNAME>\\w+\\s+:)"
| fields FIELDNAME
| dedup FIELDNAME
