Hi Experts,

Below is the JSON format input of my data, I want to fetch LoadBalancer name from metric_dimensions fields, but the position of Load balancer is differ in both field.

I don't know how to create for loop with break in SPL, please suggest how I achieve this.

metric_name: TargetResponseTime

}

Hi, folks.
streamstats and foreach are useful.

You should be able to add | spath to your search and get all of your fields (also try eval foo=spath()) but if it is not valid JSON, try this:

This is a valid JSON, generated by AWS Cloudwatch.

I am using the below SPL:
sourcetype=aws:cloudwatch
| spath path=SampleCount
| spath path=metric_dimensions
| spath path=metric_name
| spath path=timestampe
| search source = "*ApplicationELB" AND metric_name= TargetResponseTime | where Average > 0.3 | eval LoadBalancer = mvindex(split(metric_dimensions,","), 1) | table source metric_dimensions LoadBalancer Average Unit

But using above SPL LoadBalancer are populate empty for some events, because I pass 1 in mvindex, so do you now any way to iterate in the output of split function ?

@arun_kant_sharma, instead of using mvindex/split use split to create a multivalue field and mvfilter to get the LoadBalancer wherever it is:

sourcetype=aws:cloudwatch
| spath path=SampleCount
| spath path=metric_dimensions
| spath path=metric_name
| spath path=timestampe
| search source = "*ApplicationELB" AND metric_name= TargetResponseTime | where Average > 0.3 | eval LoadBalancer = mvfilter(match(split(metric_dimensions,","),"LoadBalancer") | table source metric_dimensions LoadBalancer Average Unit
