I'm trying to group ldap log values. I have already listed them out from a comma separated value but, I'm having a hard time getting them the way I want them to display. I'm trying to create a new field and show just the CN
here is my query - sourcetype=mysearch user_ldap_user_attributes_memberOf=business_group1 | stats values(user_ldap_user_attributes_memberOf) as Group | makemv delim="," Group
here is my results-
CN=ExchangeUsers

OU=Groups
OU=business
DC=us
DC=ad
DC=corp
DC=com
CN=FAMS_Users
OU=Groups
OU=business
DC=us
DC=ad
DC=corp
DC=com
CN=EXCHANGE_ACTIVESYNC
OU=Dynagroups
OU=Enterprise Groups

The first query worked like a charm. The second gave me an error "The arguments to the 'mvfilter' function are invalid."
Thanks! I was WAY over thinking it
