Hi there, try with this.

^[\d\w\s:]+,\d{3}\s(?<STATUS>[A-Z]+)\s\[

OR

,\d{3}\s(?<STATUS>[A-Z]+)(?=\s\[)

you can use the gui field extractor
click an event -> event actions -> extract field -> regular expression -> pick WARN -> name it Status -> verify -> save

I believe OP means he wants the value WARN pulled into the field name Status.
