Why awk? Just use cut.

That's incorrect. The sample output has an indeterminate number of fields, exceeding three. The goal is to simply omit the first field.

At the very least read the man page before asking such a basic question. Afterwards, if you still don't understand, you can tell us what you tried and how it failed and we can then help fill in the gap or correct the misunderstanding. cut is not a complicated tool and its man page isn't very long.

You can type man cut on your system or simply read it right here, https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/1/cut/

The argument to -f can be a range, such as 2-10. If you just want to include everything after a certain field, omit the second number.

This is well-documented in the manual page.
