Hello,

First glance it looks like this the regex you provided is looking for double quote to help find the pattern and the sample event don't seem to have any.

I think you may have better luck using a regex closer to


REGEX = \s+([^:]+?):\s+([^,]+)

I havent tested locally but on regex 101 it looks like it matches pretty well
