I have below event in my log which is output of a single command.

TIMESTAMP=2018-09-11T06:47:56|HOSTNAME=a9tvdb152|Cluster_Resources=CRS_Cluster_resources
NAME=ora.ASMNET1LSNR_ASM.lsnr
TYPE=ora.asm_listener.type
TARGET=ONLINE             , ONLINE             , ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on a9tvdb151, ONLINE on a9tvdb152, ONLINE on a9tvdb153
NAME=ora.ASMNET2LSNR_ASM.lsnr
TYPE=ora.asm_listener.type
TARGET=ONLINE             , ONLINE             , ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on a9tvdb151, ONLINE on a9tvdb152, ONLINE on a9tvdb153
NAME=ora.DATA1_DG.dg
TYPE=ora.diskgroup.type
TARGET=ONLINE             , ONLINE             , ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on a9tvdb151, ONLINE on a9tvdb152, ONLINE on a9tvdb153

I am getting below fields in this event but with only first values not rest.

  • TIMESTAMP
  • NAME
  • TYPE
  • TARGET
  • STATE

I need all value occurrence in respective field.

HI @mayurr98 ,

I tried above option and got the result in tablular format. But all data is displayed as single event. Not as multiple row.

are you using regex to extract the values?

As I mentioned, event is output of single command. I am not using regex. I need to extract the field run time.
