With the Dedup command in Splunk, duplicate values are removed from the output and just the latest record for a given event is shown. The very first key-value discovered for that specific search term or field will be returned by the Splunk Dedup command.
You can obtain particular fields from your data using the fields command, a Splunk search tool. Without performing a search for every field inside the data, one can obtain such fields.
Dedup will eliminate any duplicate occurrences by default.
The Splunk eval command, to put it simply, is used to compute an argument and insert the result into a target field. The value of the matching field is overwritten with the outcome of the eval expression if the target field's results match an already-existing field name.
Data deduplication is a procedure that gets rid of extra copies of data and drastically reduces the amount of storage space needed. Deduplication can be implemented as a background process to remove duplicates after the data has been stored in a disc or as an inline procedure to remove duplicates while the data is being saved into the storage facility.
