Let's say that it is always the first word in each event line then can you try this please:

your query to return events
| rex "^(?<myField>[^\s]+)\s*"
| table myField

See extraction here

If you need more flexibility you might need to create fields extractions. If it was me, I would create 3 separate field extractions.

- (?P<error>.*?)\sERROR
- (?P<volume>.*?)\sVolume
- (?P<tpm>.*?)\sTPM
