fighting the lack of good ideas
A couple weeks ago some folks in the splunk-usergroups.slack helped me using accum and calculating with a modulus to make a grid menu from a list. My original search had been along the lines of: | inputlookup mylookup| stats count by type| fields – count| transpose| fields – column Which was great … until my list grew…

Is there already a comparison algorithm that uses something like this? What potentially “interesting” discoveries might be made about vocabularical choices if you analyzed text corpora with this…
Had a Splunk use-case present itself today on needing to determine if the value of a field was found in another – specifically, it’s about deciding if a lookup table’s category name for a network endpoint is “the same” as the dest_category assigned by a Forescout CounterACT appliance. We have “customer validated” (and we all…
