bucketdir
Description
Replaces a field value with higher-level grouping, such as replacing filenames with directories.
Returns the maxcount
events, by taking the incoming events and rolling up multiple sources into directories, by preferring directories that have many files but few events. The field with the path is PATHFIELD (e.g., source), and strings are broken up by a separator character. The default pathfield=source; sizefield=totalCount; maxcount=20; countfield=totalCount; sep="/" or "\\", depending on the operation system.
