Splunk Search

Distinct values

SplnkUse
Path Finder

Hello

 

I am running a * search in an app and it returns several columns in the csv extract where a column is named 'source'.

 

I want to return the distinct values of 'source' but neither of the below work:

| values(source)

or

| distinct source

 

Any idea?

 

thanks!

| distinct source

values and distinct  are not  commands.  Have you tried stats?

| stats values(source) dc(source)
