Use rex

 

| rex field=_raw "message=(?<messageTime>\d+-\d+-\d+\s\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+)"

but depending on how you have set up your ingestion, it's likely that Splunk is already finding the event time field from the timestamp of the event at the start of the raw data. Is that always the same. If so, you can use just _time.

Hi @aditsss 

in this case I suggest to use the extract key-value extraction

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/Knowledge/Automatickey-valuefieldextractionsatsea...

most of your log is managed like this

key="value" key2="value"

in this case you can set this on your props.conf under the sourcetype stanza

KV_MODE = auto
