Hi,

I am trying create tags based on index and field name .  Log:
1, User.field1, User.field2, User.field3

2, Admin.field1, Admin.field2, Admin.field3

3, Admin.field1, Admin.field2, Admin.field3

I want tag User.* fields with tag User and Admin.* with Admin. So, when we search with tag User only User events listed 

Thanks

Hi @TanyaCnd,

why don't you try to use two different tags?

e.g:

  • USER or ADMIN for the first one
  • FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3, etc... for the second one

then you can use them for your searches:

tag=ADMIN tag=FIELD1

Ciao.

Giuseppe
