how to use mvfind in splunk?
We created a field with values 1,2,3,4,5 The makemv command can be used to create multivalues field values.
The delim is a function that can be used to split the field value and create a multi value from it.
Mvcombine is a tool that can be used to change multivalues fields to a single one. It's useful when you have multiple field values which are the same but with different values.
In this example, streamstats command creates values in increment order and 1,2,3,4,5 and field2 values are repeating.
The values are combined to a single event on the field counter.
NOMV(nomv)Nomv command creates field values to multi value fields.
Adding "," to them creates multivalues field values.
The multivalues field is normalized using the mvexpand command. The mvcombine is opposite of this one.
The changes of mvcombine are reverted back.
In this example new field details is created and all field values get appended to it, it takes arbitrary arguments which can be fieldname, field values, strings anything and output multivalues fields of it.
The count of the multi values field is given by mvcount.
It takes arguments as mvfield and removes duplicate values from that and gives a new field.
The mvfilter is 8
The result is based on the conditions applied to it.
In this example we want to match values from Names field so we gave a condition and it is outputted in the filter_Names field. We can use REGEX expressions to get values.
It is possible to find the index number of the field value by using mv field and regex as arguments.
It takes 3 arguments to find value and end index where we want to find them.
It takes 2 arguments, mvfield and string, to make multi value fields to single value field, but also adding a particular string to it.
The mvrange can be used to get ranges.
Information about using string and numeric fields in functions and eval functions can be found in the Overview of SPL2 eval functions.
The function returns a result from a list.
The values can be strings, multivalue fields or single value fields.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions.
The example shows how to add the value localhost to the values in the field. The results are placed in a field called ipaddresses.
eval ipaddresses is done on the localhost.
The example shows how to use nested functions.
"192.168. 1.1" is the title of the eval ipaddresses
The results are placed in a new field called ipaddresses, which contains an array of values.
The function returns a count of the values in the field.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions with other commands.
The function returns 1 if the field contains a single value. The function returns null if the field has no values.
eval n is my field.
The mvcount function returns the number of email addresses in the To, From, and Cc fields and saves them in the specified "_count" fields.
Sendmail event type eval To_count is split eval From_count. eval Cc_count is mvcount.
The email address on the symbol is separated by the split function from the values in the To field. The split function is also used on the Cc field.
If there is only one email address in the From field, mvcount(From) will return 1. The Cc field might not exist if there is no Cc address. mvcount(cc) returns a null value.
The function takes a multivalue field and returns a field with duplicate values removed.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions.
evals is the name for my field.
The function filters a field based on the expression.
The expression can only reference a single field.
The function will return the values of the field x. If you don't want the values, use one of the expressions.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions with other commands.
The values in the email field end in.net or.org.
Match(email, ".net$") or match(email, ".org$") are examples of eval n.
This function returns the index for the first value in a multivalue field. The index starts with zero.
If no values match, there is no return.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions.
eval n is "myfield, "errd+".
The start and end index values are used to return a subset of the multi value field.
The multi value field is what the mv> argument is supposed to be.
The start> and end> are numbers.
The start> and mv> arguments are needed. The end> argument is not mandatory.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions with other commands.
The names field has values in it.
The following example returns a value because the index starts at zero.
eval my_names
Start and end values are used to return values. The first 4 values are returned in the following search.
The start and end values are 0 and 3, respectively.
eval my_names.
The results look like this.
Consider the values in a field.
The index numbers start with -1 to return a value from the end of a list.
The negative symbol indicates that the index starts from the last value. For example:
To return the last value in the list, you must specify -1, which means to start at the end of the list and return only one value. For example,
eval my_ponies.
The results look similar.
You can return the 3rd value from the end by specifying the index number. For example,
eval my_ponies
The results look similar.
Start and end values are used to return values. The last 3 values are returned in the following search. The start and end values are.
eval my_ponies.
The results look similar.
The function takes two arguments, a multivalue field and a string separator. The function uses the value of the separator as a separator to concatenate the values within the multivalue field.
This function can be used with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions.
You have a field called "base" that has values of 1 to 5.
The values are in a space. You would like to create a single value field with the OR as the separator. For example, "1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5."
The base field is created by the following search. The joined field was created by using the result of the mvjoin function.
The eval base is joined to the base.
The following example joins together the individual values in the field using a semicolon as the separator.
eval n=mvjoin(myfield)
The function performs an operation on each value when it iteratively iterates over the values of a multivalue field. The function returns a multivalue field.
The function can take maximum two arguments. X can be a multi-value expression or a single value field. expression can be used to construct.
The usage of the function mvmap with EVAL is shown below.
There is an example of example 1.
Result:
Explanation:
The internal index and sourcetype name are fields that are in the above method. We have created a multi-value field using the values function and stat command. We have used the mvmap function to add 10 to the status field.
You can use mvmap instead of multiplication.
The second example is example 2.
Result:
Explanation: The internal index and sourcetype name are fields that exist in the above query status. We took them in a tabular format at the beginning.
Each status value was added with abyte. Where the single value fields are.
The third example is.
The result was.
Explanation. The internal index and sourcetype name are fields that exist in the above query status. Here we have created a multi-value field called status using a values function and a single value field.
We have used mvmap before to add all the values of status.
There is an example of example 4.
Result:
Explanation. The internal index and sourcetype name are fields that are in the above method. Here we have created a multivalued field called status using values function and method is a single valued field. In place of (X) you can use any expression which can result in any multi-valued field, and we did that here.

The case of mvmap only deals with numerical fields.
