Splunk Enterprise Security

How do I search from a lookup to find if a URL contains a malicious domain?

Dear Splunk Experts,

I have very little experience on Splunk, need your help with my search.

I have a lookup with list of malicious domains and URLs. I need to get alerted if accessed URL contains any of the domains or URL's in lookup.

My below search isn't working!

index=paloalto
|search [inputlookup domains.csv | fields url ]
Maybe this will match only when URL is the same as in the list. Please help!
Also, we have datamodel related 'networktraffic' and 'paloalto'.. But I don't know how to use them 😞

Regards,
Anil A

Hi @anil_ec21,
try something like this:

index=paloalto [ | inputlookup domains.csv | rename url  AS query | fields query ]
| ...

In this way you run a full text search on the index using all the records of the lookup url field.

Ciao.
