Splunk query output formating to Jason format

I have ingested some logs to Splunk which now looks like below when searching from search header.
 

{\"EventID\":563662,\"EventType\":\"LogInspectionEvent\",\"HostAgentGUID\":\"11111111CE-7802-1111111-9E74-BD25B707865E\",\"HostAgentVersion\":\"12.0.0.967\",\"HostAssetValue\":1,\"HostCloudType\":\"amazon\",\"HostGUID\":\"1111111-08CF-4541-01333-11901F731111109\",\"HostGroupID\":71,\"HostGroupName\":\"private_subnet_ap-southeast-1a (subnet-03160)\",\"HostID\":85,\"HostInstanceID\":\"i-0665c\",\"HostLastIPUsed\":\"192.168.43.1\",\"HostOS\":\"Ubuntu Linux 18 (64 bit) (4.15.0-1051-aws)\",\"HostOwnerID\":\"1111112411\",\"HostSecurityPolicyID\":1,\"HostSecurityPolicyName\":\"Base Policy\",\"Hostname\":\"ec2-11-11-51-45.ap-southeast-3.compute.amazonaws.com (ls-ec2-as1-1b-datalos) [i-f661111148a3f6]\",\"LogDate\":\"2020-07-08T11:52:38.000Z\",\"OSSEC_Action\":\"\",\"OSSEC_Command\":\"\",\"OSSEC_Data\":\"\",\"OSSEC_Description\":\"Non standard syslog message (size too large)\",\"OSSEC_DestinationIP\":\"\",\"OSSEC_DestinationPort\":\"\",\"OSSEC_DestinationUser\":\"\",\"OSSEC_FullLog\":\"Jul 8 11:52:37 ip-172-96-50-2 amazon-ssm-agent.amazon-ssm-agent[24969]: \\\"Document\\\": \\\"{\\\\n \\\\\\\"schemaVersion\\\\\\\": \\\\\\\"2.0\\\\\\\",\\\\n \\\\\\\"description\\\\\\\": \\\\\\\"Software Inventory Policy Document.\\\\\\\",\\\\n \\\\\\\"parameters\\\\\\\": {\\\\n \\\\\\\"applications\\\\\\\": {\\\\n \\\\\\\"type\\\\\\\": \\\\\\\"String\\\\\\\",\\\\n \\\\\\\"default\\\\\\\": \\\\\\\"Enabled\\\\\\\",\\\\n \\\\\\\"description\\\\\\\": \\\\\\\"(Optional) Collect data for installed applications.\\\\\\\",\\\\n \\\\\\\"allowedValues\\\\\\\": [\\\\n \\\\\\\"Enabled\\\\\\\",\\\\n

How can I format this correctly to show in JSON format when searing in searcher header. I'm pretty new to Splunk, hence have less idea on this.

My file_monitor > props.conf looks like below

[myapp:data:events]
pulldown_type=true
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS= json
category=Custom
description=data
disabled=false
TRUNCATE=99999
