In embodiments, method and systems are provided for facilitating identification of field values based on an extraction rule. In some implementations, a graphical user interface receives first input identifying an extraction mode that defines at least a portion of how to extract values from fields of events, and further receives second input configuring an extraction rule that defines at least a first field of the fields based on the extraction mode. The second input may include selecting a delimiter type for a delimiter mode, or specifying fields from a sample event for a regular expression mode. As such, an extraction rule may be configured, and a first set of the values from the events may be assigned to the first field based on the extraction rule.
