enumerate

Prepend a column with row numbers.

Synopsis​

enumerate [<field>]

Description​

The enumerate operator prepends a new column with row numbers to the beginning of the input record.

<field>​

Sets the name of the output field.

Defaults to # to avoid conflicts with existing field names.

Examples​

Enumerate the input by prepending row numbers:

from file eve.json read suricata | select event_type | enumerate | write json
{"#": 0, "event_type": "alert"}
{"#": 0, "event_type": "flow"}
{"#": 1, "event_type": "flow"}
{"#": 0, "event_type": "http"}
{"#": 1, "event_type": "alert"}
{"#": 1, "event_type": "http"}
{"#": 2, "event_type": "flow"}
{"#": 0, "event_type": "fileinfo"}
{"#": 3, "event_type": "flow"}
{"#": 4, "event_type": "flow"}

Use index as field name instead of the default:

enumerate index
