I am having the field "transactionid" in the splunk log as follows:
***** "thread_name":"pool-2-thread-13","level":"ERROR","level_value":40000,"stack_trace":"com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Can not deserialize value of type java.time.Instant from String \"test\": Text 'test' could not be parsed at index 0\n at [Source: {\"commisionEvent\":{\"channel\":\"testString\",\"orderType\":\"testString\",\"eventSource\":\"testString\",\"eventCreationDate\":\"2018-02-10T00:30:21.298Z\",\"orderDate\":\"2018-02-10T00:30:21.298Z\",\"dealerCode\":\"testString\",\"ban\":\"123\",\"orderNo\":\"testString\",\"originalOrderNo\":\"testString\",\"customerName\":\"testString\",\"msisdn\":\"testString\",\"orderDetails\":[{\"sku\":\"testString\",\"imei\":\"testString\",\"msisdnLineLevel\":\"testString\",\"msrp\":\"1000.00\",\"customerPaidAmount\":\"1200.00\",\"sellingPrice\":\"1000.00\",\"jumpIndicator\":\"testString\",\"eipIndicator\":\"123\",\"eip1stPayment\":\"1100.00\",\"eipPlanId\":\"testString\",\"eipInitialAmount\":\"1000.00\",\"discount\":\"100.00\",\"transactionid\":\"testString\",\"shippedDate\":\"test\",\"priceoverrideamount\":\"1000.00\",\"priceOverrideCode\":\"testString\",\"overrideReason\":\"testString\",\"originalTransactionId\":\"testString\",\"lineType\":\"testString\",\"transactionType\":\"testString\"}]}}; line: 1, column: 676] (through reference chain: com.tmobile.tfb.commissions.model.TbcUpgradesFeedPayload[\"commisionEvent\"]-com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.deser.InstantDeserializer.deserialize(InstantDeserializer.java:206)\n\t... 90 common frames omitted\n","APP_NAME":"tfb_hardGoods_SCMS","eventID: ":"123","eventType: ":"TBCCommissionUpgradeOrderFeed"}
I tried the below query
index=**** sourcetype=*"cf_foundation=" "cf_org_name=" "cf_space_name=Test-" "cf_app_name=***-test" | rex field=_raw ".*transactionid\\":\\"(?[^]+)"|table transactionid
but it shows the error "Error in 'rex' command: Encountered the following error while compiling the regex '.*transactionid\":\"(?[^]+)': Regex: missing terminating ] for character class"
Can anyone please suggest me the correct solutions for it.

Can you please try this
| makeresults | eval _raw="100.00\\\",\\\"transactionid\\\":\\\"testString\\\"," | rex field=_raw "transactionid\\\\\"\:\\\\\"(?<Transaction_id>[^\\\\]+)"
In your environment, you should try
| rex field=_raw "transactionid\\\\\"\:\\\\\"(?<Transaction_id>[^\\\\]+)"
let me know if this helps!

Hi
I used as test only the json part of the above string:
| makeresults
| eval sample="{\"commisionEvent\":{\"channel\":\"testString\",\"orderType\":\"testString\",\"eventSource\":\"testString\",\"eventCreationDate\":\"2018-02-10T00:30:21.298Z\",\"orderDate\":\"2018-02-10T00:30:21.298Z\",\"dealerCode\":\"testString\",\"ban\":\"123\",\"orderNo\":\"testString\",\"originalOrderNo\":\"testString\",\"customerName\":\"testString\",\"msisdn\":\"testString\",\"orderDetails\":[{\"sku\":\"testString\",\"imei\":\"testString\",\"msisdnLineLevel\":\"testString\",\"msrp\":\"1000.00\",\"customerPaidAmount\":\"1200.00\",\"sellingPrice\":\"1000.00\",\"jumpIndicator\":\"testString\",\"eipIndicator\":\"123\",\"eip1stPayment\":\"1100.00\",\"eipPlanId\":\"testString\",\"eipInitialAmount\":\"1000.00\",\"discount\":\"100.00\",\"transactionid\":\"testString\",\"shippedDate\":\"test\",\"priceoverrideamount\":\"1000.00\",\"priceOverrideCode\":\"testString\",\"overrideReason\":\"testString\",\"originalTransactionId\":\"testString\",\"lineType\":\"testString\",\"transactionType\":\"testString\"}]}}; line: 1, column: 676] (through reference chain: com.tmobile.tfb.commissions.model.TbcUpgradesFeedPayload[\"commisionEvent\"]"
| rex field=sample "transactionid\"\:\"(?<transactionid>[^\"]*)"
| table transactionid
It is extracting the transcation id with value testString.
Is that what you are looking for?

Its working with the above sample makeresult which you have created but when I use my search query like
index=cloudfoundry sourcetype=cloudfoundry_apps "cf_foundation=px-npe01" "cf_org_name=EQM-SCMS" "cf_space_name=Test-SCMS-qlab02" "cf_app_name=tfb_hardGoods_SCMS-test" transactionid |rex field=_raw "eventType:\s\":\"(?
| rex field= "transactionid\":\"(?
| table eventType,transactionid
it's written the same empty result 😞

Notice that you're syntax in the rex is not correct, this is how it should be:
| rex field=sample "transactionid\"\:\"(?<transactionid>[^\"]*)"
| rex field=sample "eventType\:\s\:(?<eventType>[^\"]*)"
and I copied the exact same event you posted and got your desired results. Please recheck with this
index=cloudfoundry sourcetype=cloudfoundry_apps "cf_foundation=px-npe01" "cf_org_name=EQM-SCMS" "cf_space_name=Test-SCMS-qlab02" "cf_app_name=tfb_hardGoods_SCMS-test" transactionid
| rex field=_raw "transactionid\"\:\"(?<transactionid>[^\"]*)"
| rex field=_raw "eventType\:\s\:(?<eventType>[^\"]*)"
| table eventType,transactionid

Hi @karthi25,
try this regex:
...|rex field=_raw "\"transactionid\":\"(?<transactionid>[^\"]+)"
also check in regex101: https://regex101.com/r/1nFZuR/1
