Why are we only able to extract the first value of a comma separated list for a given field?

Hi,

(In Splunk) I am only able to extract the first value of a comma-separated list for a given field in which the file has results-
only 1 result or group of results with comma separated.
How do I retrieve all values when I call the file to the table.

Thanks

You will have to create your own sourcetype-based field extraction on your search head like this:

props.conf:

[yourSourcetypeHere]
REPORT-CustomKVPs = CustomKVPs
KV_MODE = none

transforms.conf:

[Custom_KVPs]
REGEX = ([^\s=]+)\s*=\s*([^\s=]+)
FORMAT = $1::$2
REPEAT_MATCH = true

Perhaps you are trying to splunk a field which is a CSV into multiple values; if so, try this:

... | makemv delim="," YourFieldCSV

Or this:

... | eval YourNewField = splunk(YourFieldCSV, ",")
