I want to search for endpoints  /api/work/12345678 i.e api/work/(8 digt number). My below query gives me all the three endpoint in the logs. I just only want the ones that are  /api/work/12345678. 

Search Query - cf_app_name="preval" cf_space_name="prod" msg="*/api/jobs/*" 

My logs contain

msgabc - [2021-08-06T06:49:11.529+0000] "GET /api/work/12345678/data HTTP/1.1" 200 0 407 "-" "Java/1.8.0_222"

msgabc - [2021-08-06T06:49:11.529+0000] "GET /api/work/12345678 HTTP/1.1"  200 0 407 "-" "Java/1.8.0_222"

msgabc - [2021-08-06T06:49:11.529+0000] "GET /api/work/12345678/photo HTTP/1.1" 200 0 407 "-" "Java/1.8.0_222"

Thanks

If msg is a field which is already extracted, you can use this - note the \s in the pattern to terminate the URI

cf_app_name="preval" cf_space_name="prod" | regex msg="\/api\/work\/\d+\s"
