Alerting

How to create time based alert?

kvm

Hello,

I'd ask for a help on how to write a query where I need to get an alert "when there's a user added to a specific group and then removed from the group within 1 Hour time."

I'm new to Splunk, any help appreciated.

Can you share some sample events (anonymised)?

Here it is,

 

{"AADGroupId": "3100c98b-8326-454458-003423", "CommunicationType": "Team", "CreationTime": "2022-03-17T08:11:51", "ExtraProperties": [], "Id": "9a706da1-cf0-c66248e", "ItemName": "xxxxxxx", "Members": [{"DisplayName": "def, abc", "Role": 1, "UPN": "[email protected]"}], "Operation": "MemberAdded", "OrganizationId": "e092a8e1", "RecordType": 25, "TeamGuid": "19:[email protected]", "TeamName": "xxxxxxx", "UserId": "[email protected]", "UserKey": "0b6cedcb-2a3386", "UserType": 0, "Version": 1, "Workload": "MicrosoftTeams"}

Assuming you have _time as the timestamp for the events, you can run a scheduled report over the last hour, say every 5 minutes and alert if you get any results

... your index
| spath Operation
| spath UserId
| eval timeadded=if(Operation="MemberAdded",_time,null())
| eval timeremoved=if(Operation="MemberRemoved",_time,null())
| stats values(timeadded) as timeadded values(timeremoved) as timeremoved by UserId
| where isnotnull(timeadded) AND isnotnull(timeremoved) and timeadded <= timeremoved
