Once the available data fields have been visually isolated, build individual regular

To build individual expressions:
Open the regular expressions calculator.
Step 1
Paste the example of the Firewall Accept syslog message into the regular
Step 2
expression calculator's string or Sample text field.
Once the string field has been populated, create a regular expression search
Step 3
pattern for the event name field, which in this example is the text string pass. By
using the knowledge from the regular expression tutorials, you can create the
search pattern in an attempt to isolate the pass string.
\s(pass)\s
Note: The \s in the regular expression language detects white space while the
parentheses controls the exact data being returned in the search.
Copy this proposed search pattern for the event name into the Search Pattern field

of the regular expression calculator.
