Nobody is going to be able to answer your question or even give you much help unless you provide a great deal more detail, including samples of your existing data and a mockup of your desired final state.

Assuming this is your regex for the field:

 ...|rex "\nBody:\s(?<_raw>[^\}]+)"

then I would do

....| regex field=_raw "\nBody:\s(?<new_raw>[^\}]+)"
| eval _raw=new_raw

please note that pre-extracted fields such as host, _time, sourcetype will still be there. you can always see time of the event even if it doesn't exist in new_raw.

If you want to index from HF on this way, this will require you props.conf and transforms.conf. But that's not the question after all 🙂

it seems previous comments are deleted :
have you tried:

...|rex "\nBody:\s(?<_raw>[^\}]+)"

I asked you how we can rewrite event at HF level, so that data come only having Body data.

You are giving me query I gave you 😄

You can use route and filter on HF. Refer below data:
