Getting Data In

Display parts of an event as JSON

What I want to do is display the content of the message.model. However when I attempt to do this with things as

MYSEARCH | spath output=myfield path="message.model" | table myfield
the output is not visualized as JSON (but as text with no spaces, indentation or linebreaks).

I want the same visualization as in the attached image, but ONLY the message.model.

How do I achieve this?

@mrg_linus, the above view is only available with visualization selected as Events. Even in your screenshot you would notice a link to toggle the event view between Show syntax higlighted and Show as raw text. You can use the same in Event visualization but with your JSON subset as a new field.

Following is sample Simple XML with eventview. Replace your actual search to try out:

      <row>
        <panel>
          <event>
            <search>
              <query>MYSEARCH 
| spath output=myfield path="message.model" 
| table myfield</query>
              <earliest>0</earliest>
              <latest></latest>
              <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
            </search>
            <option name="count">20</option>
            <option name="list.drilldown">none</option>
            <option name="list.wrap">1</option>
            <option name="maxLines">5</option>
            <option name="raw.drilldown">full</option>
            <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
            <option name="rowNumbers">0</option>
            <option name="table.drilldown">all</option>
            <option name="table.sortDirection">asc</option>
            <option name="table.wrap">1</option>
            <option name="type">list</option>
          </event>
        </panel>
      </row>
