SIP Field Extraction, using the colon? transforms.conf?

Good day all,
I am trying to create field extractions from my SIP messaging.
Automatically, splunk will extract anything past an = sign.
How can I configure splunk to create fields past a : ?
I would like to report on ANI's, DNIS's, etc.
Thanks in advance.

You can configure key-value extractions around colons as well using props.conf+transforms.conf, however I fear those may get confused by the colons in the From: and To: values. Consider setting up regex-based extractions if that confusion does happen.

Here's a rough sketch of how colon-based key-value extractions might look for your sourcetype:

props.conf

[your_sourcetype]
...
TRANSFORMS-colons = colons

transforms.conf

[colons]
REGEX = (?<_KEY_1>\w+):\s+(?<_VAL_1>\S+)

See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.3/Admin/transformsconf for reference, search for "key".
Note, I've made the assumption that values are a string of non-space characters due to laziness - your reality may be more complicated.
