Splunk Search

Search - Fields function

leiniao
Explorer

Hello,
I want to display only the specify field(s) of the logs in the results display.

Using:
*|fields + ProductName

Instead of displaying only the ProductName field,
splunk display me with the whole log.
Is there something wrong with the search string i key in?
or i grip the concept of fields function wrongly?

Thanks in advance.

The fields command only controls which fields should be available from a search, for use by other commands. To show your search results as a list of fields in tabular format, use table. Like this:

... | table ProductName
