Count Command

sukhgillz — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:49:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm experiencing some difficulties when using count, the below search query works by listing sip (source ip) against all the siganmes (signatures) which were triggered against the sip. I'm trying to break this down further with a count of these signatures, so:

sip signature count
1.1.1.1 UDP Flood 4
TCP Flood 56
2.2.2.2 UDP Flood 6
TCP Flood 34

I've constructed the following search:

idp-01 signame=* | transaction sip signame count by eventid | table sip signame |stats list(signame) by sip

eventid is a unique reference for each event, this gives me:

sip list(signature)
1.1.1.1 UDP Flood
UDP Flood
UDP Flood
TCP Flood
TCP Flood
TCP Flood
TCP Flood
[repeats 56 times]

Any clues where I’m going wrong here?

Thanks.

What do you mean no joy - what are your results and how do they differ from the results you want?

counting by sip, signame breaks the table with two columns sip and list(signature), with the sip detailing the source ip associated with the signatures triggered. I'm looking for a third column with a count of the number of times each signature was triggered. Each log has a unique field "eventid" so was looking at using this as a counter.

Try:
...| stats dc(eventid) by sip, signature
