Hi ,
I have this issue when try to parse with json. For example i evaluate a field (for example) a_configuration :
index="xxx" a_appl_id=YYY |
| eval a_configuration="[[\"A1\",\"A2\"],[\"B1\",\"B2\"],[\"C1\",\"C2\"],[\"D1\",\"D2\"],[\"E1\",\"E2\"],[\"F1\",\"F2\"],[\"G1\",\"G2\"]]"
| eval a_FieldX1=spath(a_configuration,"{0}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX2=spath(a_configuration,"{1}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX3=spath(a_configuration,"{2}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX4=spath(a_configuration,"{3}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX5=spath(a_configuration,"{4}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX6=spath(a_configuration,"{5}{1}")
| eval a_FieldX7=spath(a_configuration,"{6}{1}")
| table a_configuration a_FieldX1 a_FieldX2 a_FieldX3 a_FieldX4 a_FieldX5 a_FieldX6 a_FieldX7
the result expected is :
alt text
but the result is :
alt text
Can anyone teach me why ?
Thanks to all ...
