Try this for your grok filter:

```
^.*event_name: \'(?<scene>.*)_(?<level>.*?)\';
```

This is dangerous since the first .\* is greedy and could match more than desired. Prefer this:

```
event_name: '(?<scene>[^_]+)_(?<level>[^']+)'

```

This assumes that the scene name never contains an underscore.
