Unable to parse the log but online log parser says no error

[sunilthemaster]

Here is my log msg from Nginx
10.96.5.224 - - [27/Jan/2022:08:32:54 +0000] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 106 "-" "kube-probe/1.20"

And this is the format am passing to exporter
$remote_addr - - [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"

Error msg says
error while parsing line '10.96.5.224 - - [27/Jan/2022:08:32:54 +0000] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 106 "-" "kube-probe/1.20"': text log parsing err: access log line '10.96.5.224 - - [27/Jan/2022:08:32:54 +0000] "GET /nginx_status HTTP/1.1" 200 106 "-" "kube-probe/1.20"' does not match given format '^'(?P<remote_addr>[^ ]) - - [(?P<time_local>[^]])] "(?P[^"])" (?P[^ ]) (?P<body_bytes_sent>[^ ]) "(?P<http_referer>[^"])" "(?P<http_user_agent>[^"]*)"'

Whereas, same test via regex checker is passing

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Sorry for the late response. This may be just a copy&paste issue, but did I spot an additional ' in the regex in your error message? I mean the ' after the first ^ in '^'(?P<remote_addr>[^ ]) ....
