Hey @muthu_kumar1 how are you ingesting your data into Kibana? Are you using Logstash or perhaps the Elasticsearch Ingest Node? On ingest, you'll want to split your data into multiple fields so that Kibana can query/graph them appropriately.

I'd start with the [Grok filter plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html) for Elasticsearch. The [Grok Debugger](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/grokdebugger-getting-started.html) in Kibana can be used to debug your specific grok expression.
