Log OSD notifications

Here's the thing.. at this time I log OSD notifications like this

dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'" | grep --line-buffered  "member=Notify\|string" >> .notify-log

and the output

method call sender=:1.63 -> dest=:1.770 serial=14 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "Pidgin"
   string ""
   string "Buddy name says:"
   string "Lorem ipsum dolor..."
      string "show"
      string "Show"
         string "urgency"
         string "icon_data"
method call sender=:1.528 -> dest=:1.770 serial=64 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "Spotify"
   string ""
   string "Boom Boom Boom - Don't Break My Balls Mix"
   string "1 Polish 2 Biscuits & a Fish Sandwich"
         string "urgency"
         string "icon_data"
         string "image-data"
method call sender=:1.814 -> dest=:1.770 serial=7 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "com.willhauck.linconnect"
   string "info"
   string "Notification server started (version 2.20)"
   string "Configuration instructions at http://localhost:9090"
method call sender=:1.814 -> dest=:1.770 serial=8 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "com.willhauck.linconnect"
   string "/home/enjoy/.cache/linconnect-server/icon_cache_a6d4083a519f81b62deaed065ab3dafc.png"
   string "+421 90X XXX XXX"
   string "Incoming call (via Phone)"
method call sender=:1.814 -> dest=:1.770 serial=9 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "com.willhauck.linconnect"
   string "/home/enjoy/.cache/linconnect-server/icon_cache_a6d4083a519f81b62deaed065ab3dafc.png"
   string "+42190XXXXXXX(Slovakia)"
   string "3 missed calls (via Phone)"

Is there any other way how to grab notifications from the whole gnome system which are more read-friendly (csv file)? Or how to parse this log to make CSV output like this?

date +"%T";AppName;Icon(link);String1;String2

So I suppose I need only first 4 rows after method.

Thanks for any advice
