Can you help me figure out if I should use a condition statement OR an If statement?

Hi all

I am new to Splunk please help me on this.

I am trying to check a condition that if Coin Acceptor, Receipt Printer and etc are Unavailable...then I want to display only that which is Unavailable...that means, if only Coin Acceptor is Unavailable, then I want to display only Coin Acceptor in the table..

| eval Component = if(( "Coin Acceptor"==Unavailable OR "Receipt Printer"==Unavailable OR "Cash Dispenser"==Unavailable OR "Cash Draw"==Unavailable OR "Signature Pad"==Unavailable OR "Cash Dispenser"==Unavailable OR "Loyalty Scanner"==Unavailable OR "Operator/Customer Display"==Unavailable OR "PinPad"==Unavailable),"NA", Component) | table  Component

@jayachandrank,,

Try this

"your current search" |eval CULPRITS=null()
|foreach * [eval CULPRITS=if(<<FIELD>>=="Unavailable",if(isnull(CULPRITS),"<<FIELD>>",CULPRITS.", <<FIELD>>"),CULPRITS)]

The CULPRITS field should have a comma separated list of components which caused the Lane became UnAvailable.

Happy Splunking!

I have changed my query like this

  • Base search *|eval "Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner"=null() |foreach *[ eval "Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner"=if(<>=="Unavailable"),if((isnull("Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner"),"<>"),("Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner"),"<>"),"Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner"] | table Store,Lane,Lane_Status,"Coin Acceptor","Loyalty Scanner","Receipt Printer"

but i am receiving a error like "Error in 'eval' command: The arguments to the 'if' function are invalid."

So i the FIELD i give any particular thing or any random name...and in you have given as <> and
"<>" is that correct or i have give double quotes in everywhere.

@jayachandrank,

You dont need to replace anything there. foreach statement has to be copied exactly as it is. So from the above search, you just replace "your current search" with your initial search

@jayachandrank,
what I meant is you dont need to change even the <<FIELD>> , thats the syntax of foreach

@jayachandrank,

If you have a Status field , then | where Status="Unavailable " should be enough.
Would you mind sharing the current search and /or intermediate result so that we can have a look?
