Result Modification
The Splunk Education single-subject course module, Result Modification is for power users who want to use commands to manipulate output and normalize data.
Topics will focus on specific commands for manipulating fields and field values, modifying result sets, and managing missing data. Additionally, students will learn how to use specific eval command functions to normalize fields and field values across multiple data sources.
Topics will focus on using the comparison and conditional functions of the eval command, and using eval expressions with the fieldformat and where commands.
