How to extract all values from a field with multiple values?

Hello,

I get the event,

IP="127.0.0.1",..., TAG_NAME="GRP_ROOT_MGT", TAG_NAME="GRP_IS_MM_MGT", TAG_NAME="GRP_RB_NN_MGT", BU_NAME="BU_RB_NN", ...

The problem is that, one field has multiple values and Splunk detects just the first "TAG_NAME" and ignores the second and third one. However, I need them all. How can I get all of them?

I want something like:

...
TAG1="xxx",
TAG2="xxx",
TAG3="xxx",
...

Please give me some idea or some help,
Thank you very much

You would have to set multivalued field extractions for your data.
Using transforms (example with almost same use-case as yours)

Using fields.conf

If you're using the rex command to extract the TAG_NAME fields, be sure to add the max_match=0 option to tell Splunk to return all instances of the field.

If you're extracting the field some other way, please explain so we can help you.
