I have a "message" field contains bulk of data(like customerName,number,address) in logstash,

Now I want to create a new field that filter the data contains only word " **Incoming Message:**"  
I'm using ELK 8.6.0

I am trying to split field "message" that is structured as follows:

'2023-08-01T21:11:54 \<local.info\> [web.site.com](http://web.site.com) IncomingMax1[123] 2023-08-01 11:10:54,123 INFO 987654321 Message.py 12 Incoming Message:'  
'\<nl John'  
'\<nl 672-222-2222'  
'\<nl NC'  
'\<nl USA'

I would like to split the above data to NEW fields :

Newfield: RESULTS ( that contains all logs having word **Incoming Message:** )

thanks a lot
