Hi all,
I have some statistical log like:
Unit Type (M) Used Rqs Size (K) Rqs Rqs
1 4326 35165 63.4 .1 5.8 .0 .1
2 4326 35165 63.4 .2 9.8 .1 .1
3 4326 17582 77.4 .1 6.3 .0 .1
4 4326 35165 63.4 .2 8.5 .0 .1
5 4326 17582 77.4 .1 5.1 .0 .1
6 4326 35165 63.4 .2 8.1 .0 .2
I used multikv to extract it as field & value pair, but I find ".1", ".2", ".0" is analysed as string instead of numeric, Is there any way that splunk is analysed as numeric. It's better if it can do so when splunk index the data. Thanks.
Use convert
. It is used for this very purpose, converting field values into numerical values.
<yoursearch> | convert auto(<yourfield>)
More information on the convert
command is available here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.2.2/SearchReference/Convert
So, to get this straight - do you have a field with the value ".1" in it, but it's not treated as a numerical field?
I have tested "| convert auto(field)", but it doesn't work.
Are there other recommendation. Thanks.
