how to filter the logs when a username field ends with "-TEST"

[pavanae]

The following are my transforms.conf and props.conf in my cluster master which are sending all the logs for the below search

logtype=SAT (id="ABC-1" OR id="ABC-2")

transforms.conf

  [send_to_heavyforwarder]
      SOURCE_KEY = _meta
     REGEX = (logtype::SAT.*id::(ABC-1|ABC-2)) 
     DEST_KEY = _TCP_ROUTING
     FORMAT = heavyforwarder_output

props.conf

 [default]
 TRANSFORMS-heavyforwarder= send_to_heavyforwarder

Now, I want to filter the events when the below search condition met

logtype=SAT id="ABC-2" username="anything that ends with -TEST"

In order to filter the events that match the above condition how to modify my REGEX in transforms.conf. I think I need to use to something like negative look-back but not sure what could be my new syntax that filters the events when username ends with "-TEST"

Any help would be great.

try this ?

(logtype::SAT.*id::(ABC-1|ABC-2).*username::[^\-]+\-TEST)

OR

logtype::SAT.*id::(ABC-1|ABC-2).*username::.*-TEST

Hi @mayurr98 I actually want to exclude any logs which contain "-TEST" at the end of username. The above answer will work if I wanted to include those logs.

I am trying to find the right syntax for excluding those something like nagative look-back's.

try this:

logtype::SAT.*id::(ABC-1|ABC-2).*username::[^\-]+\-(?!TEST)

OR

logtype::SAT.*id::(ABC-1|ABC-2).*username::.*-(?!TEST)

Thanks @mayurr98 . It almost worked great but what could be the regex if my username values are as follows

abc-def-ghi
jkl-mno-TEST
agh_123
ghk-TEST

Among the above 4 examples. Now, I just want to filter the username value's that ends with -TEST
