A type of search command that arranges the results in a data table. Transformation commands “transform” the specified cell values for each event into numeric values that Splunk Enterprise can use for statistical purposes. Searches that use transforming commands are called transforming searches.
Contents
transforming search
A search that uses transforming commands such as stats , chart , and timechart to turn event data returned from a search into statistical tables that can be used as the basis for charts and other types of data visualization.
Examples of tables, charts and reports. The following examples use transform commands to create tables, charts, and reports: Create time-based charts.
Command Types
There are six different types of search commands that a user can use: distributable streaming, centralized streaming, transformation, generation, orchestration, and dataset processing.
Search head
noun. In a distributed search environment, a Splunk Enterprise instance that handles search administration functions, forwarding search queries to a set of search peers, and then merging the results back to the user. A Splunk Enterprise instance can act as both a search head and a search peer.
SPL is the abbreviation for Search Processing Language. SPL was developed by Splunk for use with Splunk software. SPL includes all search commands and their functions, arguments and clauses.
Statistics and Chart Command Visualizations
Click the Visualization tab to create a chart from the results. Here is the visualization for the Stats command results table: The status field forms the x-axis, and the host and count fields form the data series. The range of counts forms the Y-axis.
Transform commands include chart , timechart , stats , top , rare , contingency , and highlight .
Generate command
A search command that generates events or reports from one or more indexes without converting them. Use generation commands at the beginning of the search string by adding a leading pipe character before the generation command.
The stats command is used to calculate summary statistics about the results of a search or events retrieved from an index. The stats command processes the search results as a whole and returns only the fields you specify. Each time you invoke the stats command, you can use one or more functions.
Splunk Eval command. Simply put, the Splunk eval command can be used to evaluate an expression and transfer the value to a target field. If the target field matches an existing field name, the value of the matching field is overwritten with the result of the evaluation expression.
There are mainly 3 different phases in Splunk: Data entry phase. Data storage phase. Data search phase.
Streaming command
A command that runs on the indexer and can be applied in parallel to subsets of index data. A streaming command applies a transformation to each event returned from a search. For example, the rex command is streaming because it extracts and adds fields to events at search time.
main – This is Splunk’s default index where all processed data is stored. Internal – This index stores Splunk’s internal logs and processing metrics.
The base search must use a conversion command (e.g. chart , timechart , stats and top ). If the base search contains commands before the transform command, they must be streaming commands.
Search mode
Verbose mode returns as much event information as possible at the expense of slower search performance. Smart mode, the default, toggles search behavior depending on whether your search contains conversion commands.
