I am trying to show a "primary" and "secondary" IP in rows to recreate a spreadsheet. I currently have a search like:
search query | stats values (IP) as IPs by user
This will return all of my users, with the corresponding IPs. Some users have only one, while others also have a secondary. I would like the primary and secondary to be separate columns, rather than having both combined in a single cell. I was trying to use rex to separate them, but my fields come back empty:
|rex field=IPs "(?\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3})[\r\n]"(?\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3})"
|table user primary secondary
I think the issue is with the linebreak [r/n]
as I can extract just the primary this way. Please advise how to split the stats values into separate rows, either using regex or if there is a better way.
Hello @bofasplunkguy,
I am in the same predicament as yours. Did you ever find an answer to your problem?

You can try mvexpand-
search query | stats values (IP) as IPs by user | mvexpand IPs
mvexpand breaks the values back into separate rows, which is how they already are before the stats values() command.
I want these in separate columns, not separate rows. Does that make sense? I want to end up with a table with three columns like:
| table user primary secondary
