Getting Data In

How do you compare two CSV files?

I have two CSV files: vuln_10_2018 vuln_11_2018, both with the same fields.

I want to compare the files and create a table that shows the lines with the same results.

The fields "Host, Port, protocol, PID and CVE" are my key fields, and the search must be based in these fields to show the persistent results.

Can someone please help me?

I did with this query:

  • source="source that i am comparing" [search source="source that a want to compare" rest of the query creating a table] rest of the query with the result that a want.

Assuming you have both files indexed,

source=vuln_10_2018 OR source=vuln_11_2018
| stats dc(source) as source_count by Host Port protocol PID CVE
| where source_count=2

No, I have to bring this visualization in a Splunk Dashboard.
