The sample data looks like _raw rather than msg.

You can try something like this which extracts any 13 digit number nested between forward slashes. This could be more flexible depending on the variability of your data. 

| rex "\/(?<myid>\d{13})\/"
| table myid

Slashes in regular expressions must be escaped.

rex field=msg "\/application\/resources\/cat\/v7\/product\/(?<myid>[0-9]*)/status" | table myid
