Eval and multiple logic operators

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the following dosent work?

....
| eval suppress=if((hour >=10 AND hour <=12, "yes","no") AND (dest="x.x.x.x"))
| where suppress="no"
...

the idea being not to produce results if the hour is between 10 - 12 AND the server equals x.x.x.x

I still want to see results produced between 10 - 12 for devices other than that server.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
review the eval conditions: you have a condition out ot the condition area, try:

| eval suppress=if(hour>=10 AND hour<=12 AND dest="x.x.x.x", "yes","no") 

In addition I don't like to use >= or <=, I prefer to use only > or <:

| eval suppress=if(hour>9 AND hour<13 AND dest="x.x.x.x", "yes","no") 

Bye.
