Getting incorrect data while I am using rex splunk

I wrote below query to get the data and display in my dashboard. And I am getting results with correct data + getting additional data too.

Here is the query:

index=tap-prod sourcetype=prod jobId=e62-71c72ccb3aec diff
| rex field=_raw "\"diff\":(?.*)}+"
| spath input=message
| extract kvdelim=":" pairdelim="," message
| table fieldName path expValue actValue

Here is the data I am parsing:

{
  "tapName": "tapData",
  "tapUuid": "22015f427a12",
  "diff": {
    "actValue": "tap_actualValue",
    "address": ".@gmail.com",
    "diffType": "SAMPLE_DIFFERENCE",
    "expValue": "tap_expectedValue",
    "fieldName": "Sample",
    "fullPath": "/http://www.gmail.com/file",
    "path": "/send"
  }
}

While executing above query I am getting below results which is incorrect:

Results

Like this:

| rex "(?ms)\"diff\":(?<message>.*)}+" 

As in this:

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="{
\"tapName\": \"tapData\",
\"tapUuid\": \"22015f427a12\",
\"diff\": {
\"actValue\": \"tap_actualValue\",
\"address\": \".@gmail.com\",
\"diffType\": \"SAMPLE_DIFFERENCE\",
\"expValue\": \"tap_expectedValue\",
\"fieldName\": \"Sample\",
\"fullPath\": \"/http://www.gmail.com/file\",
\"path\": \"/send\"
    }
}" 
| rex "(?ms)\"diff\":(?<message>.*)}+" 
| spath input=message 
| table fieldName path expValue actValue**

UPDATE:

Sample:

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="{
   \"tapName\": \"tapData\",
   \"tapUuid\": \"22015f427a12\",
   \"diff\": {
     \"actValue\": \"tap_actualValue\",
     \"address\": \".@gmail.com\",
     \"diffType\": \"SAMPLE_DIFFERENCE\",
     \"expValue\": \"tap_expectedValue\",
     \"fieldName\": \"Sample\",
     \"fullPath\": \"/http://www.gmail.com/file\",
     \"path\": \"/send\"
       }
 }" 
| spath diff output=message 
| spath input=message 
| fields - _* message

Result:

actValue,address,diffType,expValue,fieldName,fullPath,path
tap_actualValue,.@gmail.com,SAMPLE_DIFFERENCE,tap_expectedValue,Sample,/http://www.gmail.com/file,/send

Recommend:

 index=tap-prod sourcetype=prod jobId=e62-71c72ccb3aec diff 
| spath path=diff output=message
| spath input=message
| fields - _* message
| table fieldName path expValue actValue address

Can you provide props.conf?
