How do I get the max from each column?

With a search like ....| eval Field3=Field1+Field3

I have data as follows(in the stats tab):

_time   Field1  Field2  Field3
2015-05-11 00:00    915.426122  698.086667  217.33945530
2015-05-11 01:00    593.966923  462.311111  131.65581163
2015-05-11 02:00    403.424360  319.715556  83.708804253
2015-05-11 03:00    327.785973  261.006667  66.779305556

how do I get the max of each column?

I am thinking something like addcoltotalsbut that gets the sum of the columns but I want the max.

Hi HattrickNZ,

how about something like this:

.... | eval Field1=Field2+Field3 | stats max(Field1) AS Field1 max(Field2) AS Field2 max(Field3) AS Field3 by _time

It looks like you're adding up Field2 + Field3 so I changed it in above search.

Hope this helps ....

cheers, MuS

If you have may fields and do not know the name of them or variable number of fields, you can run it like this:

| stats max(*) as max_*
