This is an example using makeresults command - you can use the rex command to extract key values from the  content.payload field 

Example only to show you how to extract some of fields I have called my field data replace this with yours .

| makeresults
| eval data = "fileName=ExchangeRates.csv, periodName=202403, status=SUCCESS, subject=, businessEventMessage=RequestID: 101524, GL Monthly Rates - Validate and upload program"
| rex field=data "fileName=(?<fileName>\w+\.\w+),\speriodName=(?<periodName>\w+),\sstatus=(?<status>\w+)"
| table *

Or look at the spath command  that may also be another way
