LDAP Query: Pull the Description and Office fields within AD

Hi,

I need to pull the description and office fields in active directory in my SPL query. What would be the best syntax to use. What I am doing is simply a basic string search for "TOR" and would like the results to list also the user's description and office field values within AD.

Current Search:

index=* sourcetype=* "TOR"
|stats count by user
|ldapfilter search="(&(objectclass=user)(!(objectClass=computer))(samAccountName=$samAccountName$))" attrs="description, physicalDeliveryOfficeName"
|sort -count

I don't have experience with this command, but the examples in the documentation show outputting to the "table" command. You might want to try adding:

| table user,description,physicalDeliveryOfficeName,count

ahead of the sort
