What is the best way to remove dots from domain?

Hello everyone!

What is the best way to remove dots from domain in field?

for example | eval field = lower(mvindex(split(field, "."), 0)) removes just 1 dot, and what if 2+ dots in domain?

if you want to just replace the value you can use replace function.

Like

 |eval field = replace(field,"\.","")

 

Can you please try this?

| makeresults | eval _raw = "field
abc.com
1.abc.com
2.1.abc.com
3.2.1.abc.com"| multikv forceheader=1
 |eval field = replace(field,"\.","")

 

if it's still not working, please provide your expected output for below sample data.

abc.com
1.abc.com
2.1.abc.com
3.2.1.abc.com

 

Thanks

You could also use rex with sed mode like

 

....
| rex mode=sed field=<your field> "s/([^\.]+)(\..*)/$1/g"

Your search will work fine as you are selecting the first index after the split.

| eval field = lower(mvindex(split(field, "."), 0))

 

| makeresults | eval _raw = "field
abc.com
google.domain.domain
google.domain1.domain2.domain3
3.2.1.abc.com"| multikv forceheader=1
 | eval field = lower(mvindex(split(field, "."), 0))
