Getting Data In

xpath is returning the duplicate values. How do I limit the output to single values?

Hi All,

Because of existing logs type, XPATH is returning a same value thrice. Is there any way to limit the number of values?
I am using max_match but seems like it is not working. Screenshot given below.

Regards
Rishi

Can you provide a single sample event? Anonymize as needed. It's going to be difficult to help without seeing what your event structure looks like.
