Splunk Search

display results with columns

I am trying to make a search parameters which can group the different parameters in a single column and display as multiple columns, for example, for server1, there can be lot of incidents with different severity values, for example

Server Name | Severity 
Server1     |   1 
Server1     |   2 
Server1     |   3 

This has to be be represented in this format

Server Name | Severity 1 | Severity 2 | Severity 3
Server1     |    10      |     5      |    4 
Server 2    |     8      |     9      |    8

<your search> | chart count over "Server Name" by Severity

And if you really want to turn the severity values into "Severity 1" instead of just "1" in the columns:

<your search> | eval Severity="Severity " + Severity | chart count over "Server Name" by Severity

What is the format of your severity field, is it extracted ?

If you want to count the number of events per severity per host. you can try to collate the result of 3 searches, one per severity level.

* severity1 | stats count as severity1 by host 
| appendcols [ search * severity2 | stats count as severity2 by host ] 
| appendcols [ search * severity3 | stats count as severity3 by host ]

it is much better to just use the chart command.
