I don't understand.

Use a grok filter to separate "\<189\>" from the rest of the message. Feed the remainder ("date=2017-08-14" and onwards) to a kv filter.

The kv filter documentation contains a very simple example of how to parse exactly the kind of data you have. The only thing I'll add is that the filter defaults to parsing the contents of the `message` field. If you use a grok filter to separate `<189>` from the key=value pairs the latter might end up in a different field and then you'll have to use the kv filter's `source` option to select that field.

I suggest you ask Kibana questions in the Kibana category.
