This should do it

(?P<method>\w+)\s+(?P<URL>\S+)\s+\S+\s+(?P<port>\d+)\s+\S+\s+(?P<IP>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P<UserAgent>\S+)\s+(?P<status>\d+)

This will work for all you cases:

(?P<method>[\w]+)\s+(?P<URL>[^\s]+)\s+\S+\s+(?P<port>[\d]+)\s+\S+\s+(?P<IP>[\d\.]+)\s+(?P<UserAgent>[\S]+)\s+(?P<status>[\d]+)

Try this one:

(?P<method>\w+)\s(?P<URL>.*)?\s\-\s(?P<port>\d+)\s\-\s(?P<IP>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s(?P<UserAgent>[^ ]*)?\s?(?P<status>\d\d\d)

If you want to modify it test on https://regex101.com/

somehow it's not working well for this kind of data

GET /ajax/real/setsample.asp - 443 - 192.168.21.0 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+5.1;+WOW64;+rv:35.0)+Gecko/20980000+Firefox/45.0 200 0 0 31 950 #softwate#apache 560 731

UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+5.1;+WOW64;+rv:35.0)+Gecko/20980000+Firefox/45.0 200 0 0 31 950 #softwate#apache 560
 expected(UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+5.1;+WOW64;+rv:35.0)+Gecko/20980000+Firefox/45.0)

status=731
(expected status=200)

GET / - 443 - 192.168.67.1 - 200 0 0 202

UserAgent= -200
(expected UserAgent = -)

status=202
(expected status=200)

You should create 2 separate fields for the user agent string and the status code

User gent string regex
(?P<UserAgent>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\s(\S+))
