Hi Splunkers,

I'm trying to set an alert condition to block traffic for IP addresses from 13.108.0.0 to13.111.255.255 and from 66.231.70.0  to 66.231.85.255, but I'm really stuck is there anybody can help please?

My query below:

 

| tstats count values(All_Traffic.app) AS app values(All_Traffic.dvc) AS devicename values(All_Traffic.src_zone) AS src_zone values(All_Traffic.dest_zone) AS dest_zone from datamodel=Network_Traffic where All_Traffic.action=blocked All_Traffic.src_ip IN (*) All_Traffic.dest IN (13.108.0.0 13.111.255.255 OR 66.231.80.0 66.231.95.255) All_Traffic.dest_port IN (*) by _time,All_Traffic.action,All_Traffic.src_ip, All_Traffic.dest ,All_Traffic.dest_port ,All_Traffic.transport,All_Traffic.rule,sourcetype | rename All_Traffic.* AS * | sort - _time limit=0 | fields - count | rename rule as policy,src_ip AS src | eval action=case(action="teardown","drop",1=1,action)

Does your data have all of the fields you're asking tstats to count?  If not then you'll get a zero for everything.

Use a non-tstats query to test for the presence of fields.

| from datamodel:Network_Traffic 
| search action=blocked src_ip IN (*) dest IN (13.108.0.0 13.111.255.255 OR 66.231.80.0 66.231.95.255) dest_port IN (*)
| fields app devicename src_zone dest_zone action src_ip dest dest_port transport rule

The result I'm getting is 0 what I want to do is just to set up the range of IP addresses to be blocked whenever one of them used.

Thanks

What are you stuck on?  What results are you getting and how do they not meet expectations?

BTW, the IN operator does not use 'OR'.  It just takes a comma- or space-separated list of values.
