How to fake field values

splunkatl
Path Finder

In our logs I will get field values like
err=0
err=1
.
.
.
err=49

I am able to get the results when run search against "err" field. showing table as below
err count percent
0 10 100.00%

I want to show the results as
err count percent
Success 10 100.00%

How can I rename the values in fields,is it possible if fields value is 0 then show it as "Success"

You can use a lookup. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Knowledge/Addfieldsfromexternaldatasources

So the search would be something like: foo_search| lookup ldapLookup err OUTPUT description | top description
