Alerting

Help with looping in Splunk (getting column names along with field values)

Hi everyone, 

I would like to retrieve all the column names and the field values for each row and put them in an alert, without manually doing it.

Could you let me know if it is possible to iterate through each column name in splunk?

My desired output looks like this: 

① [This is for Row labeled ①]

journal.status_id.old_value: 90
journal.status_id.new_value: 95

②[This is for Row labeled ②]

journal.assigned_to_id.old_value: 113
journal.assigned_to_id.new_value: 99

③[This is for Row labeled ③]

journal.status_id.old_value: 73
journal.status_id.new_value: 90

journal.assigned_to_id.old_value: null
journal.assigned_to_id.new_value: 113


It is possible for other columns to be present so I would like to do it via a loop.

The foreach command will iterate through a list of field names.

An alert is based on the results of a search - it looks like you already have a search, what more do you need for your alert?
