Hi,

I have around 200 KPIs, each having field names in the form of *_KPI and with numbers and each *_KPI has different values.
for eg, 100_KPI has values 0, 1,56,100 and so on. Is it possible to group all field names in 1 field name as KPI? I need to compare the latest value of each KPI with the 7 day avg date_hour count and group it by KPI and display only KPI that have large deviation in single panel.

This is generally done with coalesce like this:

| eval KPI=coalesce(100_KPI, 99_KPI, ..., 1_KPI, "DefaultValueHere")

You can do similar with foreach like this:

| foreach *_KPI [ eval KPI=coalesce(KPI, <<FIELD>>) ]

Hi
You can use foreach command to group 1 field. Can you please share your sample search?
