You can add following on your Search Head
props.conf
[YourSourceType]
REPORT-getfields = extract_kv_pairs
transforms.conf
[extract_kv_pairs]
DELIMS = "|", ":"
Restart Splunk after making change.

YOu need to setup field extraction in props.conf like this.
props.conf
[YourSourceType]
REPORT-getfields = extract_kv_pairs
EXTRACT-firstfive = ^(?<fieldname1>[^\|]+)\|(?<fieldname2>[^\|]+)\|(?<fieldname3>[^\|]+)\|(?<fieldname4>[^\|]+)\|(?<fieldname5>[^\|]+)\|
