HI Experts,

I am a fresh guy in SPLUNK Searching. Recently, my team leader needed us to create a DNS regex and make the domain name more meaningful. I thought you guys have more experience at this area and know what our leader needs. Please help or paste any useful links here. :- )

  1. Install the Splunk app - Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows DNS
  2. Add below configuration in props.conf to get domain name in human readable format.

    [MSAD:NT6:DNS]
    EXTRACT-question1 = ] (?\w+)\s+(?.)
    EXTRACT-question2 = ] (?[^\s]
    )$
    EVAL-domain = trim(replace(questionname, "(([\d]+))", "."),".")

There are handful number of apps which can help you with field extractions. Have a look at this list and pick what meets your requirement or is the closest.

Thanks for your request ,Mitesh.

I clearly know how to create the field extractions. Is this same like that ?? Do you have methods to manually to add this DNS Domain Name to somewhere that I may need .Then make it happen. Is this possible?

Thanks.
