index=os source=df "/dev/mapper/system-root" | multikv | search Filesystem="/dev/mapper/system-root"

will return only that single line.

*minor edit to add "search" before Filesystem

multikv is just responsible for taking a table set of results, and splitting them into individual lines and field extracting.

Without the multikv, it will return the full df output. With it, just the single line.

I dont understand why have you given multikv where you have not given anf feilds with that? For me index=os source=df Filesystem="/dev/mapper/system-root" has given me the result set that I wanted

Just add "/dev/mapper/system-root" to your search!

index=os source=df "/dev/mapper/system-root"

(If you only want to match that path in a specific field obviously just put field=/dev/mapper/system-root)

Yes...I have used Filesystem=/dev/mapper/system-root and it is working fine now
