Getting Data In

Why are my JSON logs getting combined together in Splunk when using Bunyan?

I am using Bunyan (https://www.npmjs.com/package/bunyan) as a logger for my node Java Script application and the log output is in the below format.

{"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Time:  1537221680271","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.271Z","v":0}
{"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Cache flag is set to===> true","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.272Z","v":0}
{"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Response status---> 200","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.272Z","v":0}

The data gets to logstash and then to Splunk. When I pull the data in to Splunk, I see them as below (grouped together)

10:01:25.505 PM 
{   [-] 
     @timestamp:     2018-08-17T22:01:25.505Z   
     LOGLEVEL:   UNKNOWN    
     kubernetes:    {   [+] 
    }   
     log:    {"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Time:  1537221680271","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.271Z","v":0}
{"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Cache flag is set to===> true","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.272Z","v":0}
{"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Response status---> 200","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.272Z","v":0}
tags:   [   [+] 
    ]   
     type:   ms_Log 
}

I want each log entry to appear separately in Splunk as below (even better if it can be formatted). Any inputs are appreciated?

 @timestamp:     2018-09-17T22:01:20.271Z
 LOGLEVEL:   INFO   
 kubernetes:    {   [+] 
}   
 log:   {"name":"Product list page","hostname":"plist","pid":24,"level":30,"msg":"Time:  1537221680271","time":"2018-09-17T22:01:20.271Z","v":0}

 type:   Microservice_Log
