Subsearches
Once you've got the search returning the results you want, you can put it in brackets and use it as a parameter for another search
SEARCH [search SUBSEARCH]
Ex:
sourcetype=SOMESOURCE [search sourcetype=somesource 192.168.0.1 | fields SOMEFIELD | format]
Format search results to be used as a filter in another search
Use format
SEARCH | fields FIELD1 | format
Returns:
((field1=value1) OR (field1=value2) OR (field1=value3))
Additional search filtering
Use where
Ex:
| metadata type=hosts | where lastTime > 1297713600
Reverse search results
Use reverse
Ex:
SEARCH | reverse
Time
Filter by specific hour
Use date_hour
Ex:
SEARCH | AND date_hour = 6
Note that date_hour uses the timezone of the client, not the server
Macros
Openldap macros
These search for a filter in a given connection, and return all the logs for that connection, instead of just the line matching the filter. the last part makes sure it matches the same connection from the same host.
One filter:
sourcetype=openldap [search sourcetype=openldap $filter$ | fields conn, host | format]
Usage:
`openldap(FILTER)`
Ex:
`openldap(192.168.0.1)`
Two filters:
sourcetype=openldap [search sourcetype=openldap [search sourcetype=openldap $filter1$ | fields conn, host | format] $filter2$ | fields conn, host | format]
Usage:
`openldap(FILTER1, FILTER2)`
Ex:
`openldap(192.168.0.1, some_uid)`
