i have a unix system log information as tables in events.every event have 4 column and 10 rows. i want to extract all the row information in to 4 fields. but header and value row structure is different, i tried multikv with noheader/force header and regex still im not able get desired result.

Table Structure
.......\s...........\s................\s............\s...... (Header row of Table) separator: space
.......\t...........\t................\t............\t...... (Rest of the rows in Table) separator: tab

CPU pctUser PctSystem pctIowait pctIdle
0 32 62 0 6
2 52 82 0 7
...
...

while using noheader=true , i'm getting only second row of each table.

Is there any way to get all of the row info to corresponding field.

Hi,
Can you please add multikv.conf file with below stanza in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory and run the search provided below,

[tab_mkv]
header.start = "CPU"
header.linecount = 1
header.tokens = _tokenize_, -1," "
body.tokens = _tokenize_,-1, "  "

index=<index name> | multikv conf=tab_mkv
