So I have multiple fields whose field names could end with a different values. Examples of these fields are below:
foo.foo_a = 1
foo.foo_b = 2
foo.foo_123 = null
foo.foo_test = 4
What I want to do is combine all of these values into a single value.
Essentially, I want a new value like below
new_value= foo.foo_*
where new_value would then be equal to:
1
2
4
If anybody could help guide me on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
I was hoping that something like
stats list(foo.foo_*) by field
would have worked, but it doesn't provide the output that I am looking for, which is all of the fields combined into one.
Give this a try. It , combines all foo.foo_*
field values, concatenated by space, into field foo
. If you want different delimiter, just update the 2nd expression in foreach-eval.
your current search with all foo.foo_* fields
| eval foo=""
| foreach foo.foo_* [ eval foo=if(foo="",'<<FIELD>>',foo." ".'<<FIELD>>']
