Your command says
"\"timestamp\":\"(?<Time>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}[T]\d{2}:\d{2})"
So it will match only if you have a part of your event containing (of course the timestamp is just an example)
"timestamp":"2023-01-12T14:54
Since your event is formatted differently (most significantly, the "field" you're extracting from is not named "timestamp"), you need to adjust this regex.
Use https://regex101.com for checking/verifying your ideas.
As a side note - manipulating structured data (in your case - json) with regexes might not be the best idea.

Yes, i released that its not "timestamp " and its changes to "eventTimestamp" in raw data
However modified query but still its not working.

Hi @bhaskar5428 ,
You need to change the regex capture group to cover only time, like below;
| rex field=_raw "\"@timestamp\":\"\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}[T](?<Time>\d{2}:\d{2})"

Watch your raw event carefully. Compare it with the regex. The difference is kinda obvious.

Hi @bhaskar5428,
Your rex command seems trying to extract Time field from @timestamp field. Can you please show the raw data by clicking "Show as raw text" selection under the raw event?
Splunk shows JSON events as formatted but rex works on real text itself. We cannot compare your regex and raw data using this screen capture.
