How to build a table from different fields from a single event

Shaft
Explorer

Hello

I'm having this situation where I have a query returning a single event and I need to build a compound table from different fields from that event.

Here are the fields:

  • severity
  • severity_id
  • riskFactor
  • riskFactor_id
  • exploitAvailable
  • exploitAvailable_id

How can I build a table like this:

IndicatorValueId
Severityseverityseverity_id
Risk FactorriskFactorriskFactor_id
Exploit AvailableexploitAvailableexploitAvailable_id

 

Thanks for your help!

Here's one way you might do it:

| makeresults
| eval severity="High", severity_id=123, riskFactor="xyz", riskFactor_id=987, exploitAvailable="Y", exploitAvailable_id="ABCXYZ"
| fields - _time
``` the lines above create a dummy event with the fields mentioned ```
| transpose 0 column_name=name
| eval id=if(match(name,".*_id"),'row 1',null())
| eval value=if(match(name,".*_id"),null(),'row 1')
| eval indicator=trim(name,"_id")
| stats values(value) as value values(id) as id by indicator

Works great 🙂

Just had to filter out the other unrelated fields from the event.

Thanks a lot!
