Hi @nikitha15 

Can you try this approach, you have to tune regex matching to your data.

| makeresults 
| eval value="[{\"name1\":\"val1\",\"count\":3},{\"name2\":\"val2\",\"count\":1}, {\"name3\":\"val3\",\"count\":2}]" 
| eval json_arrays=split(value,"},") 
| mvexpand json_arrays 
| rex field=json_arrays "\"(?<name>[^\"]+)\":\"(?<value>[^\"]+)\"\,\"count\":(?<count_val>\d+)" 
| table json_arrays name value count_val

Tried output,
