Those sample events look like syslog with JSON message fields.  Since they're not pure JSON, the _json sourcetype won't work.  If you onboard the data using these props.conf settings

[ eset_syslog ]
CHARSET=UTF-8
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=32
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
REPORT-syslog=syslog-extractions
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3N%Z
TIME_PREFIX=\d\s
TRANSFORMS=syslog-host
TRUNCATE=10000
disabled=false

then this search will extract the fields.

index=foo sourcetype=eset_syslog | rex "(?<json>\{.*)" | spath input=json

@richgalloway  thanks for your swift response .. in the meantime , i changed the logs format from the server  to leef and and made extraction at index time rather than search time using propos.conf and transforms.conf
