@premranjithj, If you want to extract everything between forward slash (/) and backward slash (\) which appear after key, try the following run anywhere search based on sample data provided in the question (as is):

| makeresults
| eval _raw="\":\\\"aerfsdn:awfsdsdf:kfgms:us-asa-1:13v6030114722:key/rwefnsdlk8-9bbnf8-fsdiufsdk8-9e04-faljfkld95\\\""
| rex field=_raw "key\/(?<key>[^\\\]+)\\\\"

PS: back slash characters need to be escaped in Splunk besides escaping in regular expression.
