First, the regular expression in the rex command must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Second, you're being caught by rex's escape trap.  Embedded quotation marks must be escaped, but the multiple levels of parsing in SPL call for 3 escape characters.

| rex ", \\\\\"appStatus\\\\\":\\\\\"(?<status>\w+\s\w+)\\\\\""
