I have the following search
sourcetype=dhcp | stats earliest(_time) as FirstSeen, latest(_time) as LastSeen by IP_Address | fieldformat FirstSeen=strftime(FirstSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S") | fieldformat LastSeen=strftime(LastSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S") | inputlookup append=true seen_dhcp_ip_addresses.csv | where IP_Address="192.168.1.1"
Which outputs the following:
IP_Address FirstSeen LastSeen
192.168.1.1 Nov 22 2017 16:52:44 Nov 22 2017 16:52:44
192.168.1.1 Jul 25 2017 08:52:00 Nov 19 2017 01:02:16
I would like to combine these two rows into the following output instead
IP_Address FirstSeen LastSeen
192.168.1.1 Jul 25 2017 08:52:00 Nov 22 2017 16:52:44
Thanks
HI
Can you please try this search?
sourcetype=dhcp
| stats earliest(_time) as FirstSeen, latest(_time) as LastSeen by IP_Address
| inputlookup append=true seen_dhcp_ip_addresses.csv
| where IP_Address="192.168.1.1"
| stats min(FirstSeen) as FirstSeen max(LastSeen) as LastSeen by IP_Address
| fieldformat FirstSeen=strftime(FirstSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S")
| fieldformat LastSeen=strftime(LastSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S")
Thanks

Hey @davidmonaghan - Based on the output you've shown in the post, it looks like you're storing the StartTime and EndTime in the csv file as strings, which means you'll need to convert those strings back into epoch timestamps in order to use the approach suggested by @kamlesh_vaghela. If you have the option to do so, I'd recommend storing those timestamps in the csv file as epoch timestamps and only converting them to strings right before you use them in a view. If you need to convert the contents of your csv file, you can do this:
| inputlookup seen_dhcp_ip_addresses.csv
| eval FirstSeen=strptime(FirstSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S"), LastSeen=strptime(LastSeen, "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S")
| outputlookup seen_dhcp_ip_addresses.csv
That will overwrite your lookup file in place with epoch timestamps instead of strings.
If you aren't in a position to replace the CSV contents, then I think you'll need to convert the timestamps from the lookup file to epoch timestamps before using the | stats min(FirstSeen)...
part of the search in @kamlesh_vaghela's answer.
Hi @elliotproebstel
Thanks for the tip...
