I am hacking away at some searches, and having some difficulties with strings and ints. I would like to set up some variables to do some testing. Initially, I tried:
| eval blah="1"
hoping to have the field blah to work with, and do stuff like isnum() and isstring() and tostring() etc
This doesn't look like the way to pull it off. Is there a way to get key value pairs into the pipeline without actually running a search?
| stats count | eval blah="1"
This is because the eval command performs its calculations for each row in the result and when using | eval foo="123"
its operating on a result with 0 rows. Simply prefixing it with | stats count
generates a row and the eval expression operates on this row.
