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>[^\|]+)\|
