Why is extracted field formatted incorrectly?

I have the following log that Splunk is not recognizing well :

msg=id=123342521352 operation=write

 

How can I write a query so that ID is parsed by itself?

The goal is to be able to build a table like :

id operation
123342521352 write

 

Unfortunately, when I tried

table id operation

The id is always empty as it does not seem to be parsed correctly

If you look at events, you'll find the field msg with "id" as value.  In SPL, you can use rex to extract id as a field, e.g.,

| rex "msg=id=(?<id>\d+)"
