I need the switch logs to be displayed separately like in the image the whole message field is combined . can i split that message into different fields ?

example:

message : the exact message looks like this :
10.41.0.3 Feb 21 17:06:14 local7 notice 974 Feb 21 17:10:25.394: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty1 (10.41.0.244)

I need to customise it to something like this.

message : Configured from console by vty1 (10.41.0.244)
Ip address: 10.41.0.3
timestamp : Feb 21 17:06:14
facility:local7
priority: info,notice etc

i am using file beat as an agent to ship logs

You can parse your log messages either in Logstash or through an ingest node pipeline in Elasticsearch. This blog post compares these two options and provides a discussion around pros and cons.
