Rex, extract 2 values into one variable

dbcase
Motivator

Hi,

I have data that looks like this

"beta.icontrol.com" 173.3.202.209 "173.3.202.209" - - [01/Aug/2016:15:50:59 -0500] "GET /rest/icontrol/logout/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SAMSUNG-SM-N920A Build/MMB29K; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/52.0.2743.91 Mobile Safari/537.36" "-"

"beta.icontrol.com" 75.27.138.54 "75.27.138.54" - - [01/Aug/2016:15:52:12 -0500] "POST /rest/icontrol/sites/1000262/network/instances/14001e5e090204731d.9.0/points/coolSetPoint?value=2056 HTTP/1.1" 202 7 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_3_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/13G34"

I'm attempting to count the number of GETs and POSTs. Something like this (but it doesn't work because I'm brand new to rex)

index=main source="/etc/httpd/logs/-access_log" |rex "GET\s+(?\d+) POST\s+(?\d+)"|chart count by status

Splunk complains about two things having the same name (status). Just not sure how to go about this the right way....

Try this

... | rex "(?<status>GET|POST)" | stats count by status

dbcase
Motivator

that last part should read (without the spaces)

rex "GET\s+(?< status >\d+) POST\s+(?< status >\d+)"|chart count by status
