Ingesting cisco netflow HSL messages

Hi all, so I've been trying to ingest cisco netflow logs into my splunk environment, and finally got the logs in with Splunk Stream.

However, there's a field "src_content" which seems to be unable to parse or read by splunk, and its appearing as symbols. I'm suspecting itt is due to cisco netflow sending them via High-Speed Logging. Is there a template for splunk to decode these?

It looks like this for eg.

src_content:
