current splunk log:

user=a,ip=b,info={'gender':1,'Country':2},p=1,

target splunk table:

 user=a,ip=b,gender=1,Country=2,p=1,

Your log looks pretty standard and fields can be parsed into name/value pairs with the extract command. Then, your info field looks a bit like JSON only you have single quotes instead of double quotes. Your can switch these with the replace function, Then you can parse the (now correct) JSON field with the spath command

| extract
| eval info=replace(info,"'","\"")
| spath input=info
