hi

 

I use the search below

 

| inputlookup lookup_xx where TYPE="Ind" 
| search DOMAIN=I OR DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W 
| rename HOSTNAME as host 
| table host TYPE DOMAIN

 

Instead using | search, I would like to include this in my Where condition but it doesnt works

 

| inputlookup lookup_xx where TYPE="Ind" AND (DOMAIN=I OR DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W) 
| rename HOSTNAME as host 
| table host TYPE DOMAIN

 

how to do this please?

and for performances is it better to use Where or search?

 

[| inputlookup lookup_xx
| search TYPE="Ind" AND (DOMAIN=I DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W) 
| rename HOSTNAME as host ] `w`

 

 

And why I can do

 

[| inputlookup lookup_xx
    | where TYPE="Ind" OR (DOMAIN=I OR DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W) 

But not

[| inputlookup lookup_xx 
    | where TYPE="Ind" AND (DOMAIN=I OR DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W) 

Thanks for your help

Hi @jip31 

Have you tried without using boolean operators outside parenthesis, like this?

| inputlookup lookup_xx where TYPE="Ind" (DOMAIN=I OR DOMAIN=B OR DOMAIN=W)
