How to Make a Table for JSON Data?

I have the following JSON structure in my events. I am trying to figure out an SPL Query to format the JSON in a table for a dashboard. The names of the WLCs could change, so WLC-1 will not always be the first entry or have the same name. Is it possible to make a dynamic table like the one below? Thank you.

WLC-1 SSID1: 2 SSID2: 4  
WLC-2 SSID1: 16 SSID3: 8  
WLC-3 SSID2: 6 SSID3: 6 SSID4: 9

 

{ 
WLC-1: {
SSID1: 2
SSID2: 4
}
WLC-2: {
SSID1: 16
SSID3: 8
}
WLC-3: {
SSID2: 6
SSID3: 6
SSID4: 9
}
}

Hi @apignata,

you could use the INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=json option in the props.conf (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/admin/Propsconf), in this way all the fields are automatically extracted.

In addition you could also use the spath command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/SearchReference/Spath) that makes the same thing.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
