Newbie to ELK

I have installed ELK on my server and I am able getting logs to parse, however in my regular grok expression in logstash I am creating 3 variables, but I'm not seeing them when I go to Kibana and look at the data. Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Here is my expression:

match =\> ["message","\s+[A-Za-z]+(#011|;)\d+(#011|;)(?\w+)#0(?\d+)([^#]+)#011([^#]+)#011\d+#011([^#]+)#011([^#]+)#011([^#]+)#011(?([^#])+).\*"]

Thanks

AFAICT that grok expression doesn't extract any named captures, only numbered ones (and such are ignored by Logstash).
