How to extract data from quotation marks?

Hello, 
I am trying to extract the data from the following message:
the header data is in quotes and for each header data there is a set of secondary data also in quotes.
The events are presented as follows:

{Name=SS, PId=236}
PROD {Type=A_OUTGOING, Id=7934,plan=8975, Conflict=2529, Date=2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00}
PROD {Type=B_OUTGOING, Id=7934, plan=8975, Conflict=72482, Date=2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00}
{Name=DAG, PId=55}
PROD {Type=B_INCOMING, Id=7921, plan=8975, Conflict=64870, Date=2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00}

The following result is expected:

Name   PId  Type  Id  plan Conflict  Date
SS 236 A_OUTGOING 7934 8975 2529 2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00
SS 236 B_OUTGOING 7934 8975 72482 2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00
DAG 55 B_INCOMING 7921 8975 64870 2023-04-18T18:51:00.000+02:00

 

Would you please help? Thanking you

That data is JSON so the quick/easy/wrong fix is just to add this to your search:
| kv

But the better answer is to add this to your props.conf for your source/sourcetype:
KV_MODE = json

Given that this looks like it might be JSON, have you tried using spath?
