Hi,

How to loop like this

Event fields

field1 [value1a, value1b, value1c, value1d,...]
field2 [value2a, value2b, value2c, value2d....]
field3 [value3a, value3b, value3c, value3d....]
and so on..


---------------------------------
| value1a  | value2a  | value3a  |
|          |          ------------

The requirement is for IDP traffic

field1 = source ip addresses (external and internal)
field2 = destination ip addresses (external and internal)
field3 = severity
field4 = attack signature

I want to group the row by source ip
then each row I want to group by destination ip
then each row of destination, I want to group by severity count
then from severity row, i want to group by attack signature

this is for report, dashboard and alert.

Example


 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  SRC_IP    |  DEST IP  |  SEV HIGH | SEV CRIT |  ATTACT COUNT | ATTACK SIGNATURE | And so on...|
|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|---------------|------------------|-------------|
