Hello,

If the field SNO does not exist, you can dynamically create it during search time. The Splunk command you are looking for here is accum -which increments a field value by one.

There is one small catch here, the command will not begin to increment if the field value starts with a zero. Nonetheless, there is a way around it. Here is a quick search that should help:

index=blah sourcetype=blah blah | eval SNO=1 | accum SNO | eval SNO=SNO-1 | table SNO Field1 Field2

It should be noted, however, that Splunk will show row numbers in a table by default. The numbering will begin at one (1).
