A field has multiple lines like a chat log. Below aLL DATA IS in one field of Splunk in the same way as below. Now need to match agent's initial response and capture in a separate field. Aju is the user and Rohi is the agent. Whenever chat is assigned to agent system messgae generated(In this example 1/1/2019 2:42:59 AM Rohi system message: ready to chat). Need to match the next line of agent response time after this agent system message "Rohi system message: ready to chat" in the entire log . That is called initial reponse for this chat (In this example it's timestamp/transcript is (1/1/2019 2:51:16 AM Rohi Hello Aju my name is Rohi. How can I help you today?) )Please help me on calculating Initial reponse time to a separate field using REGEX or someother way. Thanks

Guess something like this is the only way, huh. Shame Splunk doesn't support using (?P=name) to match a named subpattern. That way you could have done it with a single regex: https://regex101.com/r/d8F6SN/1/

Edit: oh, wait, that is supported: | rex "(?s)System Message: (?<agent>\w+) is ready to chat.*?[\r\n]+[\d\/]+\s+[\d:]+\s+\w+\s+[\r\n]+(?P=agent)[\r\n]+(?<agentFirstResponse>.*?)[\r\n]+[\d\/]+\s+[\d:]+\s+\w+"

Or see the answer from @jnudell_2 for a similar solution using \1 instead of (?P=agent).

Now working. One change in the log. Message for System message is: Rohi is online and Ready to chat. It its not ready to chat.

This is the one whcih I executed.

index="use_case_one"
| makemv tokenizer="(?ms)(.?)\s[\r\n]{2,}\s*" DATA
| rex field=DATA "(?\S+) is online and ready to chat."
| eval DATA=mvindex(DATA, mvfind(DATA, "online and ready to chat") + 1, -1)
| eval agentFilterRegEx = " [AP]M[\r\n\s]+" . agent . "[\r\n\s]"
| eval agentFirstResponse = mvindex(DATA, mvfind(DATA, agentFilterRegEx))
| rex field=agentFirstResponse "(?ms)^(?[^\r\n]+)[\r\n]+[^\r\n]+[\r\n]+(?.*)$"
| eval agentFirstResponseTime = strptime(agentFirstResponseTime, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p")
| fieldformat agentFirstResponseTime = strftime(agentFirstResponseTime, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p")
| table "Session Log" "DATA"

This should work as-is, so long as the field with your message is called DATA. If not, just change the field name everywhere. Of course, you throw out the stuff before the COMMENT.

Hi @rajaguru2790 ,

You can use the following:

| rex "^(?<chat_start_time>[^\r\n]+)[\r\n]+[\S\s]+System\s+Message:\s+(?<agent>\S+) is ready to chat[\S\s]+[\r\n]+(?<initial_response_time>[^\r\n]+)[\r\n]+\2[\r\n]+(?<initial_response>[^\r\n]+)[\r\n]+" 
| eval chat_start_time = strptime(chat_start_time, "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p")
| eval initial_response_time = strptime(initial_response_time, "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p")
| eval agent_response_time = tostring(initial_response_time - chat_start_time, "duration")

This will look something like this:

That is not the same regex that jnudell_2 suggested. Did you actually try the correct regex? I've tested this as well and it seems to work fine.

Alternatively, this rex also works: | rex "System Message: (?<agent>\w+) is ready to chat.*?[\r\n]+[\d\/]+\s+[\d:]+\s+\w+\s+[\r\n]+(?P=agent)[\r\n]+(?<agentFirstResponse>.*?)[\r\n]+[\d\/]+\s+[\d:]+\s+\w+"

Hi rajaguru2790,
Try something like this

| rex "System Message: \w+ is ready to chat\.\s+\d+\/\d+\/\d+\s\d+:\d+:\d+\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+(?P<my_field>.+)$"

You can test it at https://regex101.com/r/fjaU3e/1

Bye.
