try this:
(?<err_message>Error.+;).+,(?<err_reason>.+)

It will extract two fields - err_message and err_reason

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

Hi shraddhamuduli,
which information do you want to extract?
if you want to extract the message "connection attempt failed", it's easy

| rex ".*\),(?<my_field>.*)$"

if you want to extract other fields (e.g. server and port failed), it's

| rex ".*server\s(?<ip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+):(?<port>\d+)"

Bye.
