Is there a specific command that we use to take away a field from the results displayed?
There are two ways to do that, and they have different effects -
| fields - myfield
| fields + keepfield1 keepfield2 ... keepfieldX
The fields
command is a distributable, streaming command. The first one removes myfield
, the second one removes all fields except the listed ones, but also leaves the internal fields like _time
. There is no limit on the number of records that can pass through the fields
command.
| table keepfield1 keepfield2 ... keepfieldX
The table
command is NOT a streaming command, it is a transforming command. It keeps only the listed fields, deleting all internal fields that aren't listed, and formats the result as a table. WARNING - Table
has a limit to the number of results it puts out.
@splunkerkanaka, it should be | fields - <YourFieldToBeRemoved>
