Pooja, something like this should work for you. Replacing the 'message' piece with the name of the field that contains that value.

```
 grok {
             match => ["[message]", "%{NOTSPACE:instance_name}\-%{NOTSPACE:thread_id}" ]
 }

```

There is some useful documentation on grok patterns over at [StreamSets](https://streamsets.com/documentation/datacollector/latest/help/datacollector/UserGuide/Apx-GrokPatterns/GrokPatterns_title.html).
