Extraction used:

(?:[^,]+,){14}(?<alert_description>[^,]+),

Please help extract the highlighted fields.

 Thank you

@srinivas_gowda Try using the below rex:

(?:[^,]+,){14}(?<alert_description>.*)\,\"Error

In case you want to use in splunk query:

| rex field = _raw "(?:[^,]+,){14}(?<alert_description>.*)\,\"Error"

Also if this reply helped you in solving your problem, an up-vote would be appreciated.

If you mean breaking in the middle, it is stopping when it reaches the comma, that's because that's what the match string does. Try this instead

(?:[^,]+,){14}(?<alert_description>\"[^\"]+\"),

You may or may not want to include the double quotes in the extracted field - if not, simply move them to outside the brackets
