I need to seperate the field values correctly, to display it in the kibana. I want to parse the unstructured log file. So i came to know with the help of Index and mapping it is possible. But i don't kow to Index and mapping to the file properly. Could you please tell the steps how to mapping and index ?

For Example Server.log file is present. I want to Index and mapping the file correctly. The lines below are in this server.log.

2018-03-13 01:32:54 INFO UserController:96 - Login User from SSO session :com.emc.imap.model.User@2bf26620[emailID=Neha.Maharudra@emc.com,role=,userID=maharn,Neha,Maharudra,]  
2018-03-13 01:32:54 INFO UserServiceImpl:109 - method: setUserToken  
message: Start:

Expected O/P:

1st Row :  
Date - 2018-03-13 01:32:54  
log - INFO  
Action - Login User from SSO session  
message - UserController:96  
sessionValue - com.emc.imap.model.User@2bf26620  
emailID- [Neha.Maharudra@emc.com](mailto:Neha.Maharudra@emc.com)  
userid - maharn,Neha,Maharudra

2nd Row :  
Date - 2018-03-13 01:32:54  
log - INFO  
Action - UserServiceImpl:109  
Method Name - method: setUserToken  
Action - message: Start

So this is the expectation. In the server log file, keep the mentioned log lines and split the field like the expected O/P. Please mention the steps to do it.
