Splunk Search

Parsing fields inside quoted fields

Hi,
at search time I like to pase the key-value pairs inside the message and would like to have the whole message in a field:

log-line:
message="serial="57896" name="test" loc="there""

Per default splunk parses like:
message=serial=
name=test
loc=there

How to get this?
message= serial="57896" name="test" loc="there"
serial=57896
name=test
loc=there

Can you please try this?

Your_search | rex field=_raw "message=\"(?<message>.*)\"$" | eval _raw=message | kv | table message serial name loc

Sample search:

|makeresults | eval _raw="message=\"serial=\"57896\" name=\"test\" loc=\"there\"\"" | rex field=_raw "message=\"(?<message>.*)\"$" | eval _raw=message | kv | table message serial name loc

Thanks
