Create a wildcard string for a TERM match to a cidr or list of cidrs.

This way you can search indexes or datamodels like this: index=myindex TERM(192.168.0.*) from the cidr 192.168.0.0/24

The following macro displays the wildcard string matches to a given CIDR:

 rex field=cidr "^(?<ip_base>[\d\.]{7,})\/(?<ip_block>\d{1,2})$"
| rex field=ip_base "(?<ip1>\d+)\.(?<ip2>\d+)\.(?<ip3>\d+)"
| eval ip2B=case(ip_block<=8,"*",ip_block=16,ip2,ip_block=15,mvrange(ip2,ip2+2),ip_block=14,mvrange(ip2,ip2+4),ip_block=13,mvrange(ip2,ip2+8),ip_block=12,mvrange(ip2,ip2+16),ip_block=11,mvrange(ip2,ip2+32),ip_block=10,mvrange(ip2,ip2+64),ip_block=9,mvrange(ip2,ip2+128),1=1,ip2)
| eval ip3B=case(ip_block<=16,"*",ip_block=16,ip3,ip_block=23,mvrange(ip3,ip3+2),ip_block=22,mvrange(ip3,ip3+4),ip_block=21,mvrange(ip3,ip3+8),ip_block=20,mvrange(ip3,ip3+16),ip_block=19,mvrange(ip3,ip3+32),ip_block=18,mvrange(ip3,ip3+64),ip_block=17,mvrange(ip3,ip3+128),1=1,ip3)
| mvexpand ip2B
| mvexpand ip3B
| eval ip_wildcard=ip1.".".ip2B.".".ip3B.".*"
| fields - ip1* ip2* ip3* cidr_wildcard
