I'm using RHEL 6.10 and using the Splunk CLI to find "transactions" (groups of results together). It is searching for rtvscand log lines.
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk search \
'syslog_source=rtvscand
| transaction host syslog_source
startswith="Scan started" endswith="Scan Complete"'
The search returns a set of results printed one after the other, as shown in my first set of output lines. I would like each individual result (in this case, each transaction) to be separated by a blank line, as shown in my second set of output lines since it's not always obvious where a transaction begins and ends. For example.

Is there a way to specify that the Splunk CLI should put a blank line in between each transaction so it looks like this?

splunkcommand you are running. As it stands your question is unanswerable.
