Hi
Am trying to create an alert and a weekly scheduled report for user"us.admin" in Splunk. I want to get an alert if this user login and activities if possible. Am already monitoring the path and pushing into Splunk. What are the appropriate search strings to do this? Thanks

Hi @woodlandrelic,
if you want to trace all the successful logins of a user in an alert to all you Linux systems, you should use something like this:
index=os "accepted password"
| stats count values(host) AS host BY user
in this way you have all the logins of each user with the indication of the logged hosts.
If you want to monitor only one host, you can put it in the main search.
Ciao.

Hi @woodlandrelic,
what's the system to monitor: windows, linux, which one?
Then, which condition do you want to monitor: failed logins, or logins out of work time, which one?
To monitor a user is a too generic question.
Ciao.

Thank you very much. I will try it once I login later this morning.
Am fairly new to Splunk. Is there a cheat sheet, search strings, and commands to enhance my SPL? Thanks again.
