hi moiezuddin,

it is necessary to extract these fields using regular expressions before achieving dashboards using these fields. And for that you need to identify in your data the values corresponding to each field you need.
eg extraction of the field at random from your data:
source="dashboard_field.csv" host="student09-PC" index="field" sourcetype="csv" |rex "^[^'\n]*'(?P\w+'\))" |table type

this allows to retrieve the values of a certain type field that I choose.
try this and let me know if it works. or or you send me the file with which you work at gyslainko@gmail.com, and I'll help you extract these fields and then send you the regular expressions that you will use to work with.

please forgive my english. after
