Hi all,

I have a file that looks like this -

Added files:
added: /etc/addedthisfile
added: /etc/cron.daily/tripwire-check
added: /etc/tripwire

How can field extract added=*?

In search you can do like this (in-line field extraction: extracting field 'Files' as multivalued field which contains all paths)

your base search | rex max_match=0 "added: (?<Files>\S+)"

To do that automatically (saved field extraction), you can follow this
