Depending on whether the leading phrase "message" and the trailing phrases such as "adding routing key in producer" are important, you can use rex or just 

  • If those phrases are unimportant, use split.  It is more efficient.

 

| eval of_interest = mvindex(split(your_field, "|"), 2)

 

  • If the first phrase and the last are important,

 

| rex field=your_field "message:(\d+|){2}(?<of_interest>\w+)(|\d+){5}|adding routing key in producer"​

You could go with | erex , if you're not expert with RegExs.

Otherwise, assuming the value is always in that position and not assuming a specific set of alphanumeric values, go with the following (13 steps per log, very efficient)

| rex field=<yourFieldOr_raw> "^(?:[^\|\v]*+\|){2}(?<yourValue>[^\|\v]*)"
