This is what you want: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1753/
The NMON Performance Monitor for Unix and Linux Systems will do all that for you, and more.
Without a header (in which case you could use multikv) you are really going to have difficulty getting proper context from the data the way you have it...

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!

Actually its from that app which I need from.
I need the first strings into a field named type.
Also looking for regex without using multikv so that i could create that field.
