Splunk Search

How to edit the table format in my email alert so that each item starts a new line?

Hi Splunkers and Happy Friday

I am trying to put together an email that looks something like this:

alt text

However when I have several ITEMs for an Invoice the QTYs and other fields do not go to a new line like in the my original search in Splunk but look like this:

alt text

The underlying search is this:

| fields - _raw, _time 
| stats values(ITEM) values(ITEM_DESCRIPTION) list(SHIPPED_QTY_BTLS) list(ORDER_QTY_BTLS)  list(PACKQTY)  list(SHIPPED_DATE) by INVOICE_NUMBER,SALESPERSON,EMAIL,SHIP_TO 
| rename "values(ITEM)" AS "ITEM" "values(ITEM_DESCRIPTION)" AS "ITEM_DESCRIPTION" "list(SHIPPED_QTY_BTLS)" AS "SHIPPED_QTY_BTLS" "list(ORDER_QTY_BTLS)" AS "ORDER_QTY_BTLS" "list(PACKQTY)" AS "PACKQTY" "list(SHIPPED_DATE)" as "SHIPPED_DATE"

Would anybody know how to get this to have any value in the their own row and not right after each other?

Thank you very much guys,

Oliver

We figured it out, we are using regex for the field and put in spaces, which breaks everything up just like we need it:

| stats list(size) as "size" list(ship_qty_btls) AS "ship_qty_btls"  list(ord_qty_btls) AS "ord_qty_btls"  list(ShortQty) as "short_qty" list(item_description)  as "ITEM_DESCRIPTION" delim=":" by invoice,ship_to, email, Cust#
| rex mode=sed field=ITEM_DESCRIPTION "s/:/\n/g" | rex mode=sed field=ord_qty_btls "s/:/\n/g" | rex mode=sed field=size "s/:/\n/g" |  rex mode=sed field=ship_qty_btls "s/:/\n/g" |  rex mode=sed field=short_qty "s/:/\n/g" 
| rex mode=sed field=ITEM_DESCRIPTION "s/ /_/g"

I have not, but it is correct in the Splunk WebUI also as PDF attachment, just in the HTML email body Splunk seems to screw it up.

Have you tried looking into mvexpand and mvsplit?
