How can I search for the field host with multiple values?

[ddrillic]

We ended up with an operation index that has two hosts per event, let's say aaa and bbb.
Searching for index=shortland host=aaa brings results but index=shortland host=bbb does not.

What can it be?

Can you share a sample (sanitized) event, please?

[ddrillic]

No worries - speaking with the sales engineer who explained that one host value was indexed at index time and another one was discovered at search time. Apparently, only the index time value is searchable when searching against the host field.

For the record, a similar case at How to handle search query when json data has host field?

Hi @ddrillic

H can achieve with OR ,IN
EG:- host=aaa or host=bbb

host in ("aaa","bbb")

If my answer helped please accept answer or up vote

Thank you @harishalipaka.

If that search does not work, then your host field does really have both values. We will never get to the bottom of this unless you post an event. and your props.conf settings.
