Splunk Search

How to extract the application name from the log file path or process in a search?

My goal is to create an application list running from all servers in the form of table.

index=unix* host=* sourcetype=ps  user="*" user=* NOT user=root

This way I am getting all the processes owned by nonroot users. I am trying to identify application name (web,app and db) apache(with /app/apache/"application name", jboss application name (/app/jboss/servers/"app name" and db name (pmon).

To all experts, is there any way to extract application/db name (web/app/db) using single search so that it can be presented as a table?

Table format:

Hostname Webname Applicationname DBname
