• Enter Source field : field containing logs that will need to be parsed.

Store and reuse Parsing rules

• You can store a parsing rule by checking Save this rule , then entering a memorable name for the parsing rule you want to store. The mnemonic name has a minimum length of 5 characters, a maximum length of 255 characters and can only include upper and lower case letters (az, AZ), numbers (0-9), and dots (.), space ( ), underscore (_), hyphen (-), and the @ character.

• After the parsing rule has been stored, in subsequent processor creations you can reuse this rule by selecting Rule presets in the Pasing rule section.
