You could use field extraction or the rex command.

| rex field="Activity Result" "Activity Result: {"IsProductValidated":"false","ErrorCodes":\[{"errorCode":"(?P<errorCode>\S+)","errorMessage":"(?P<errorMessage>.+)."}]}"

Hi @venkatanagendra ,

You do not need to do regex, as your data is already in  structured json format. Ensure your sourcetype is using kv_mode=json  or kv_mode=auto and you can address fields 

ErrorCodes{}.errorCode ErrorCodes{}.errorMessage

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi @venkatanagendra ,

If the json you provided is part of an already existing field i would go with eval json functions

 

| makeresults
| eval json = "{\"IsProductValidated\":\"false\",\"ErrorCodes\":[{\"errorCode\":\"PRD-202\",\"errorMessage\":\"Product Validation Service Returned Error :: Reason: Options you have selected are not available at this time. Please change your selections.\"}]}"
| eval errorCode = json_extract(json,"ErrorCodes{}.errorCode"), errorMessage = json_extract(json,"ErrorCodes{}.errorMessage")
| table _time errorCode errorMessage

 

Best Regards,

Andreas
