There's dedup, and there's also the stats operator values.

This seems to work when trying to find unique values for a field, like 'host':
* | chart count by host

The Splunk Enterprise version 5.0 documentation from 2012 is no longer available. Similar information is available in newer versions of the Splunk documentation. Replace "5.0" in the URL with "latest" or a more recent version number to view the topics.
