Eval a field twice based on index name

bleung93

I have a field totalVolumeGB thats value is based on the eval below. I want to eval the same field, but with a filter based on the index field.

The index field is essentially index=*.

... | eval totalVolumeGB=10*(homePath_maxDataSizeMB+coldPath_maxDataSizeMB)/1024

I want to add this to the previous query, when my "index=summary_*"

... | eval totalVolumeGB=23*(homePath_maxDataSizeMB+coldPath_maxDataSizeMB)/1024

OR

how about something like this:
... | eval num=if(like(index,"summary_%"),23,10) | eval totalVolumeGB=num*(homePath_maxDataSizeMB+coldPath_maxDataSizeMB)/1024
