i want to get list of servers from the csv which are not sending any logs to splunk like for past 48 hours with time when it stopped ingesting. i am trying below query but no success.

| metadata type=hosts index=*
| where lastTime < relative_time(now(),"-24h") AND totalCount > 0
| convert ctime(lastTime) as "Time when stopped" ctime(firstTime) as "Time when Started"
| table host "Time when stopped"
| search
[| inputlookup xyz.csv |fields hostname] | table host "Time when stopped"

Please try below query

| tstats latest(_time) as l earliest(_time) as e where index=*
[| inputlookup x.csv
| rename hostname as host
| table host] by host
| eval diff=now()-l
| eval diff_in_days = round(diff/86400,2)
| convert ctime(l) as lasttime ctime(e) as first
| where diff_in_days>1

okay there was a extra dot in the query mistakenly , errors removed but the query is not returning any results though there are few servers from csv which are not sending logs

For me it did work, however there is otherway

| tstats latest(_time) as l earliest(_time) as e where index=* host IN (x,y,z,a,.......) by host | eval diff=now()-l | eval diff_in_days = round(diff/86400,2) | convert ctime(l) as lasttime ctime(e) as first | where diff_in_days>1

place the host names from your CSV the above query for host IN by separating them with ,

Try this

List the hosts who have not sent any data in last 48 hours.

| tstats count WHERE index=* earliest=-48h [| inputlookup xyz.csv |table hostname | rename hostname as host ] by host 
| append  [| inputlookup xyz.csv |table hostname | rename hostname as host | eval count=0 ] 
| stats max(count) as count by host | where count=0

Hi,

If your are just looking for sever list, below query will do the work, (select time range for 48 hours)

| metadata type=hosts index=*
| lookup xyz.csv hostname as host OUTPUTNEW other_field as other_field
| where isnull(other_field)
| table host

other_field - select any field from the lookup

happy splunking .....!!!!
