Hi

This is my API AWS query:

"search index=aws userIdentity.type=Root eventName=ConsoleLogin earliest=-10d  | rex field=_raw MFAUsed\D\D\s\D(?P<Mfa>\D?\S) | rex field=_raw principalId\D:\s\D(?P<principalId>\d*)" | stats count by principalId"

its working and im getting results.

Now I need your help with add the field that I parse (Mfa)

and to add Mfa="No" to the query

but its not showing resutls.

I tried to do something like that:

"search index="aws" (userIdentity.type="Root" eventName="ConsoleLogin" Mfa="No*" earliest=-10d | rex field=_raw MFAUsed\D\D\s\D(?P<Mfa>\D?\S) | rex field=_raw principalId\D:\s\D(?P<principalId>\d*)"

What Im missing?

Thanks!

Mfa hasn't been extracted until after the rex (that extracts it), so try something like:

"search index="aws" (userIdentity.type="Root" eventName="ConsoleLogin" earliest=-10d | rex field=_raw MFAUsed\D\D\s\D(?P<Mfa>\D?\S) | where Mfa="No*" | rex field=_raw principalId\D:\s\D(?P<principalId>\d*)"

Got this error:

"messages": [

"type": "FATAL",
"text": "Error in 'where' command: The expression is malformed. The factor is missing."

You possibly need to add in escaping of the double-quotes(?)

"search index=\"aws\" userIdentity.type=\"Root\" eventName=\"ConsoleLogin\" earliest=-10d | rex field=_raw MFAUsed\D\D\s\D(?P<Mfa>\D?\S) | where Mfa=\"No*\" | rex field=_raw principalId\D:\s\D(?P<principalId>\d*) | stats count by principalId"
