I am trying to extract field from the "textPayload" value which is log message and it has "status" as key. 

I want to make my search by extracting "status" as a field and apply for creating alerts. 

Here is the regex i generated and working in regex101 >> \\"status\\":\\"(?<status>[^\"]+)

Here is our sample log
