This regex will extract the highlighted text

(?<msg>"errorMessage":"[^"]+")

Of course assuming you don't have any escaped quote in your error string. That's the problem with

1) Manipulating structured data with regexes

2) Sending structured data (json, xml) as part of an otherwise unstructured event.

So generally, it should work but be aware that there might be border cases where it will not capture whole message. This captures with possible escaped quotes:

(?<msg>"errorMessage":".*?(?<!\\)")
