My solution.
Matched with the expected data except for the file name.

Workflow
I assumed that Error, Warning, FieldConversionError appears separately one for each row.
I admit that this solution is vulnerable to the change of log format,
but we cannot foresee how the format will change in the future version anyway.
Formula Tools
[WorkflowName] = GetWord([Field_1], 2)
[StartTime] =
DateTimeParse(
REGEX_Replace([Field_1],".*([a-zA-Z]{3}\s+\d{1,2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\s\d{4})", "$1"),
"%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y")
[Duration] = GetWord([Field_1], 2)
[Warning] = Substring([Field_1],25,Length([Field_1]))
[Error] = Substring([Field_1],23,Length([Field_1]))
[ConversionError] = Substring([Field_1],38,Length([Field_1]))
[Seconds] =
ToNumber(Left([Duration], 2)) * 60 * 60 +
ToNumber(Substring([Duration],3,2)) * 60 +
ToNumber(Substring([Duration],6,2)) +
ToNumber(Right([Duration], 3)) / 1000

Great opportunity to investigate various tools, work on RegEx code, data modeling, and some advanced tools preparing for renewing Core Certification. A Challenge where no two solutions will be alike, certainly none like mine. The FileName and WorkFlow values do not match the Task 1 solution so something is up with that.
Fifteen tools used in this solution.
I had fun with this one, I'm sure there are less brute-force ways to do it but I was able to keep it short and sweet!
