Splunk parsing issue

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the splunk technology, so there have been a few things that I'm stuck with. I have a log format with a field that includes a binary number, so either a single 0 or 1 digit. I'm trying to extract a new field to name this field accordingly, but splunk is having a hard time parsing and identifying this field correctly. I provide a few examples but it only recognizes the zeros in the date field... anyone know what I could do to get it to identify this specific field? Thank you!!

Is it possible to convert those binary bits to ascii before Splunk indexes it? If so, that would be the route I would go.
