Hi @vineela,

this seems to be a Json log, so you could try to use the spath command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Spath).

If anyway you want to use a regex, you could try something like this:

| rex "\"code\":\"(?<code>[^\"]+)\",\"severity\":\"(?<severity>[^\"]+)\".*\"user_message\":\"(?<user_message>[^\"]+)\""

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/8Ggre7/1

Ciao.
