This is the string :
VERTICA-MIB::vertHostName = STRING: "vertica-1"

i'm trying to extract the hostname so added the following at props.conf:

EXTRACT-vertHostName = ((?(<name>)yes|VERTICA-MIB::vertHostName\s=\sSTRING:\s\")(?<vertHostName>[^"]+))

which returns:
STRING: "vertica-1"

need to return:
vertica-1

OK this works fine on splunk:
EXTRACT-vertHostName = .+VERTICA-MIB::vertHostName\s=\sSTRING:\s\"(?[^\"]+)

Your regex is pulling all of the string initially. You have 5 capture groups, only 2 of which are named. Try this.

EXTRACT-vertHostName = VERTICA-MIB::vertHostName\s*=\s*STRING:\s*"(?<vertHostName)[^"]*)"

there is a ( missing here...
and > missing i think...

i also checked this
((?()yes|VERTICA-MIB::vertHostName\s=\sSTRING:\s\")([^"]+))

with a regexp tool "Regulator" and it seems to work fine there.
at splunk i just add the ? but it keeps returning:
STRING: "vertica-1"
