Hi,
I'm trying to take filds from different events and put them in one table column. I've true this using the rename command, however, only the first rename files as SocialMediaPost it matched.

index="mail" (text!='' OR status!='' OR comment_text!='' OR message!='') | rename text as SocialPostData status as SocialPostData comment_text as SocialPostData message as SocialPostData | table URL User SocialPostData

Any help, much appreciated!

Hmm... you might be looking for this:

... | eval data = coalesce(text, status, comment_text, message) | fields - text status comment_text message

That will take the first value that isn't null and write it into the data field.
