Hello, How do i use multikv to extract fields that have % or / in them ? I'm unable to extract if it has those characters (% or /) in them.
For example : in below
extended device statistics
r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device
2.5 2.1 33.3 6.6 0.0 0.1 0.0 25.7 0 4 c1t0d0
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.7 0 0 c0t0d0
host=solaris-rao Options| sourcetype=Solaris_iostat Options| source=script Options
I'm able to run sourcetype="Solaris_iostat" | multikv fields device asvc_t and get my fields extracted.
But if run same with : sourcetype="Solaris_iostat" | multikv fields device %b (or kw/s), fields are not getting extracted. Is there something i need to provide to extract those fields ?
thanks pmr
multikv
simply drops non-word characters from the beginning of field names, and replaces non-words characters in the middle and end of field names with underscores. You can just use b
and kw_s
. If you are unsure, you simply omit the fields
argument to multikv
, it will just extract what it can, and you can inspect the resulting field names.
ah..great. it works now, thanks much. - pmr
