I have a data in Splunk like

index="main"

FnameCountry
fname1USA
fname1USA
fname3USA

 

I want to add and change some data

where Fname="fname1"  I want to edit that Country = UK and add field of Phone =123

 

The final data will be

 

FnamePhone Country
fname1123UK
fname1123UK
fname3 USA

How can I do that?

Hi @jokovitch,

as @anilchaithu hinted, the correct search should be:

index=main
| eval Country=if(Fname="fname1","UK",Country), Phone=if(Fname="fname1","123","")
| table Fname Phone Country

if it doesn't run, check the fieldname (fields are case sensitive).

If doesn't run, please describe results and what's error.

Ciao.

Giuseppe

@jokovitch 

you can use the below eval command for this task

eval Country = if(Fname="fname1", "UK", Fname), Phone= case(Fname="fname1", "123")

 

-- Hope this helps

index="main" |eval Phone= case(Fname="fname1", "123")

strange, try this. 

index="main" | eval Phone= case(like(Fname, "%fname1%", "123")

You need to change

 

index="main" | eval Phone= case(like(Fname, "%fname1%", "123")

 

to

 

index="main" | eval Phone= case(like(Fname, "%fname1%"), "123")

 

 

That still not change the data

 

Do I need to put this query in another place then New Search screen ? Or maybe is there place that I need to mark to commit this data?
