My version 5 enviroment grabs it? Version 6 the fields are way less. Still a N00b on both releases, but trying to transform out data to the nullqueue is hard enough without the added complexity of not having a field... HELP!!!!

remark : you cannot use fields with nullQueue filtering, because the fields are extracted as search time, not at index time, You need a proper regex to define a filter for nullQueue.

at search time try :

* | rex "User: (?<User>\w+)" | table User _raw

at index time for the props for nullQueue try a simple

REGEX = User: SYSTEM

or a conditional

REGEX = User: (SYSTEM|MYOTHERUSER|MYOTHERUSERAGAIN)
