Splunk field extraction

Hello All, 

 

I am new to splunk and I have a question regarding the splunk field extraction. Consider the following example log snippet which consists of 4 events.  The error messages are the same except for the field "sku" , time stamp and OrderNumber. 

After the below log has been ingested into splunk --If I were to search for the field  "errorMessage" I will get 4 results which are the below events. 

 

On the other hand if I were to consider all the below events as one format (consider all the four events as duplicate) by ignoring the all the other key value pairs except  "errorMessage" --can this be done without ever asking splunk to ignore the "sku" field ? 

 

 

[2021-02-05 18:00:00.00 GMT]  ERROR  OrderNumber|0001|component="DeltaInventory",errorMessage="Cannot find parent",sku="0001"
 
[2021-02-05 19:00:00.000 GMT]  ERROR  OrderNumber|0002|component="DeltaInventory",errorMessage="Cannot find parent",sku="0002"
 
[2021-02-05 20:00:00.00 GMT]  ERROR  OrderNumber|0003|component="DeltaInventory",errorMessage="Cannot find parent",sku="0003"
 
[2021-02-06 21:00:00.00 GMT]  ERROR  OrderNumber|0004|component="DeltaInventory",errorMessage="Cannot find parent",sku="0004"
 
Thanks!
