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,

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
