How do I edit my search to remove duplicates of a field that appear in a table column?

pkeller — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:36:46 GMT

Say I have a table ...

host, IP, destinationHostname, Port, count

host1 10.10.10.1 desthost1 9999, 33
host1 10.10.10.2 desthost2 9998, 33
host1 10.10.10.3 desthost3 9997, 34
host2 10.10.10.1 desthost1 9999, 88
host3 10.10.10.2 desthost2 9995, 100
host3 10.10.10.4 desthost4 9990, 10

I'd like to remove the host field where it appears multiple times ...

So, I want my output to look like this ... ( essentially ... where host1 repeats I just want it gone )

host1 10.10.10.1 desthost1 9999, 33
      10.10.10.2 desthost2 9998, 33
      10.10.10.3 desthost3 9997, 34
host2 10.10.10.1 desthost1 9999, 88
host3 10.10.10.2 desthost2 9995, 100
      10.10.10.4 desthost4 9990, 10

Is that even possible?

The last element of my search is simply |table host, IP, destinationHostname, Port, count

| stats values(IP), values(distinationHostname), values(Port), count by host

done. When I checked earlier, the 'accept' action wasn't rendering itself. Thanks for the reminder. 😎
