Splunk Search

Why do I only see 10 results/columns in my count table?

When I run this search -

source="*conn.log" | rex field=_raw "\.IP = '(?<connectionIp>[^']+)" | fields host, connectionIp | chart count by host, connectionIp

The resulting chart only shows me 10 IP addresses, but I know there are more in there. How do I get it to show me more?

By default, the table produced by the count command will only show you the top 10 results (columns) and then group the rest into the 'Other' column. To increase the number of columns in the table, append 'limit=x' to the end of your search, where 'x' is the number of columns you want to see.
