Trying to figure out if can rename field names using lookup and CSV file. Something like this:
index=main d_name="*" | dedup d_name | table _time d_name plat d_man d_mod user | rename d_name TO value from csv lookup
csv file:
fieldname,tableheader
d_name, Device Name
plat, Platform
d_man, Manufacturer
d_mod, Model
user, User
Like this:
... | rename [|inputcsv renameFields.csv| format "" "" "" "" "" "" | rex field=search mode=sed "s/ tableheader=/ AS /g s/fieldname=//g"]
I downvoted this post because does not work
@ahansson89 - Downvoting should only be reserved for suggestions/solutions that could be potentially harmful for a Splunk environment or goes completely against known best practices. Simply commenting with more information about what didn't work and what you've tried (or whatever other info may be relevant) would suffice to help you troubleshoot further.
Try this
index=main d_name="*" | dedup d_name | table _time d_name plat d_man d_mod user | join d_name [| inputlookup lookup.csv | rename fieldname AS d_name | ] | eval {tableheader}=d_name
Using rename command below is not working...
rename d_name as [| inputlookup fieldnames where fieldname="d_name" | return $tableheader]
Any reason to not just simply use FIELDALIAS in the props.conf of you sourcetype?
