How make a string field multivalued?

pfabrizi

I have a event field that comes in as a string that is comma separated.
field look like https://google.con,https://Microsoft.com,https://splunk.com

In my props I have an eval:
EVAL-urls = split(urls, ",")

when searched we only see the https://google.com is the urls field.

How can I make this multivalued ?

Thanks!

Try using the makemv command. This will take a single value field with a delimited list of values and turn it into a multivalued field.
