There is a command multikv, it works for tabled data like we get from Unix/Linux machines:

index=foo host=abc* sourcetype=vmstat
| bucket _time span=5m
| multikv fields
| stats avg(memUsedPct) as MemoryUsed by host

Are you looking for help interpreting the data, i.e., what each numerical field represents? Or are you looking for help with parsing into individual fields?
