Hi Team,

When am putting any search command, am getting column names as one of the value, and getting displayed in report also. I do not want to display the column name as value, please suggest me the solution.

in command syntax mention "NOT" with your any single column name, should resolve your problem..

Right, I got that part but we need to see the search or example data to see whats happening. Its not normal behaviour for Splunk to include field names as values, unless they are also in the values or you're doing something funky in the search
