and HOST2 has these multilines event:

CPUTYPE   Intel CPU E7330 @ 2.40GHz

Now, I would like the search results to display them as:

KEY             HOST1                                        HOST2

CPUTYPE    AMD CPU X7560 @ 2.27GHz     Intel CPU E7330 @ 2.40GHz

CPUCACHE  24576 KB                                 3072 KB

1- first extract the fields from each events.
by example with the rex command, or any automatic field extraction.
see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3.3/Knowledge/Addfieldsatsearchtime.

example with rex:


mysearch | rex "CPUCOUNT (?\d+)"

2- then create a stats that will display then per host


... | stats value(cpucount) by host

3- rotate the table if you want each event as a column


... | transpose
