Greetings!!

I would like to ask a question about dedup
eg: |dedup host ,IP
|dedup host |dedup IP
I've tried but when I use a comma, dedup works only on the first fields, and I want that this can be performed on both sides not only one side, I wanted that the output for fields 1 and fields 2 no redundancy values come again?

for example:
|dedup host, IP --->this brings me the below output: and I want that this one could not be repeated also like on host fields.

host IP

x 1.1.1.1
y 1.1.1.1
z 2.2.2.2

what the best way to remove redundancy for two fields????????
I need your help?

Thanks!

Using dedup on multiple fields with the comma isn't only working on the first field. It is actually removing events where the host and IP BOTH match.

| rename C as host
| dedup host

OR

x 1.1.1.1
x 2.2.2.2
y 1.1.1.1
z 2.2.2.2"
| makemv delim="
" _raw
| multikv
| table C IP
| rename C as host
| stats count by host IP
| table host IP

OR

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="C IP
x 1.1.1.1
x 2.2.2.2
y 1.1.1.1
z 2.2.2.2"
| makemv delim="
" _raw
| multikv
| table C IP
| rename C as host
| dedup host,IP

Which result is correct?
