I have a data which splunk shows, but i dont see a field for what i wanted
"ag-somethin-id":["97234d506-E0ASD-4XXX-AXX0-ASD77757"]
I need to to create a field with ag-somethin-id which should actually give me the all the values under those events and it should show something like:
97234d506-E0ASD-4XXX-AXX0-ASD77757 under this field ag-somethin-id
Till now I have tried using the below, but its not correct:
rex "ag-somethin-id[\\\":]*(?<ag-somethin-id>[^\\[":"]*)"
Please help in fixing this
Please use the below regex
rex field=_raw "\"ag-somethin-id\":\[\"(?<agsomethinid>[^\"]+)\"\]"
|rename agsomethinid as "ag-somethin-id"
I have verified by executing in regex 101 Regex for ag-somethin-id

This is the data I have:
{ "a":"1",
"b":2,
"c": { "x":"3", "y":"4",}
}
let's suppose I have tons of events in that format. What I want to do is to write a query that will only extract "x"s from all events. I don't want anything else to be returned, just the "x"s.
I've tried multiple examples and I went through pages of documentation and yet I still did not succeed with this, there must be something I'm missing. Please advise.
It would help to know what you've tried so far and how those attempts failed to meet expectations.
Have you tried the rex command?
| rex max_match=0 "\\\"x\\\":\\\"(?<x>[^\\\"]+)"
The forest of backslashes is needed to escape the embedded quotation marks through multiple parsers.
This query works for me. Note the missing comma after the "y" value. Splunk will produce unexpected results if the JSON is not valid.

\"b\":2,

I'm a newbie to SPlunk trying to do some dashboards and need help in extracting fields of a particular variable
Here in my case i want to extract only KB_List":"KB000119050,KB000119026,KB000119036" values to a column
Expected output:
KB_List
KB000119050,KB000119026,KB000119036
i have tried:
| rex field=_raw "\*"KB_List":(?<KB_List>\d+)\*"
highlighted the part below in the log
svc_log_ERROR","Impact":4.0,"CategoryId":"94296c474f356a0009019ffd0210c738","hasKBList":"true","lastNumOfAlerts":1,"splunkURL":false,"impactedInstances":"","highestSeverity":"Minor","Source":"hsym-plyfss01","reqEmail":"true","AlertGroup":"TIBCOP","reqPage":"","KB_List":"KB000119050,KB000119026,KB000119036","reqTicket":"true","autoTicket":true,"SupportGroup":"TESTPP","Environment":"UAT","Urgency":4.0,"AssetId":"AST000000000159689","LiveSupportGroup":"TESTPP","sentPageTo":"TESTPP"},"Notification":{"":{"requestId":"532938335"}},"":
rex field=_raw "KB_List\":\"(?<KB_List>[^\"])\""
This regular expression will look for anything that begins with KB_List":", the capture everything except a ".
In your example, you are only capturing digits (\d+), whereas the contents in the KB_List field also contain characters ("KB" and ",")
Alas:
I figured out by looking into so many articles:
| rex "KB_List\":\"(?<KB_Listed>[^\"]+)" | table KB_Listed
While trying to use rex as part of a splunk search I have a regular expression that works fine:
eventtype=my_type | rex field=_raw ".*\[(?<foo>.*?)\].*" | table _time, foo
But when I try to save the search into a dashboard table I get the following error:
Error parsing XML on line 29: Premature end of data in tag form line 1
I know my query is fine because when I click the "Run Search" button while adding it to the dashboard table I get a valid result. But when I click the save button I get the above error.
I suspect the named group capture within the regular expression is throwing off the XML parser.
How do I use a rex regular expression with name capture as part of a dashboard query?
Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.
To use named group capture you have to replace the angle brackets with < and >:
... | rex field=_raw ".*\[(?<foo>.*?)\].*" | ...
I was given a log from splunk and I want to get a particular data in the middle of the string and use it for the dashboard. For example:
msg="somestring1 somestring2 500 somestring3 ..."
How do I get the value 500?
Sorry, I am not expert in splunk. Thanks in advance
I think what you're looking for is the rex command.
Example usage:
... | rex field=message "\S+ \S+ (?<extracted_field>\d+) \S+" | stats count by extracted_field
I have the following query:
search (...) AND ERROR
| rex field=error "^.*(?<vcbn>Value cannot be null.)$"
| stats count(vcbn) by error
but for whatever reason the stats count(vcbn) by error isn't generating any results.
Additionally, the rex field=error "^.*(?<vcbn>Value cannot be null.)$" isn't building a new field in the list on the left of the event search results.
The search itself returns 170 events.
Splunk Version: 4.3.3
looks like rex command is not able to extract at search time.
Can you provide sample _raw log event or 'error' field from the log event?
Also refer,
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.1/SearchReference/Rex
So after a good bit of research, I found a solution. The first problem was I misunderstood the field parameter for the rex command. It's meant to tell the parser was field to search through. The next thing I had to do was make sure to use the line characters ^ and $. Finally, I had to add the trailing .* to the mix so that it would look through the entire _raw field.
rex "^.*(?<vcbn>Value cannot be null).*$"
| stats count(vcbn)
NOTE: the _raw field is built in.
